jobcentre solihull unfair sanction

paperchase_3

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had any problems with solihull jobcentre. When I first signed on it took them 2-3 months to proccess my claim due to the fact that im on a part time hnc electrical and took a student loan out. i have also had conflicting veiws on the amount of voluntary work i should be doing. there have been a number of undisclosed problems, but now they have issued me with a 4 week sanction even though i have done nothing wrong and have at the very least met there requirements. I told them i applied for 5 jobs and 2 other activities. I actually applied to 6 jobs but forgot to write the last one down. i am also going to the local mp. they shouldn't be allowed to stop jsa for no reason, i have heard other people being took off jsa while waiting around there too, they also seem to be focussing on retail and food industry too even if people have trade skills or experience in other work environments.
is anyone else having these problems?

Taking a while to process the claim if there are complicating circumstances is normal, nothing sinister. What reason have they given you for the current sanction? They can't stop JSA for no reason, they obviously have a reason which you may or may not agree with.
