    Well no I'm guessing they haven't as I haven't received it.

    I made sure I had some money behind me to live off. I never intended on claiming anything but I've not had any luck in finding a job unfortunately. I'm hoping that by singing I will have more luck in getting interviews etc. Thank you
    Signing on wont get you interviews no

    They say bring your p45 'if you have one.' I was never asked for one by my advisor and they seemed very surprised when i produced one. It won't affect your claim if you don't have one.

    If you left in February and they'd given it to you straight away it would most likely be out of date now anyway.

    Ok thanks for that. Could you tell me what the process is, being on job seekers? I've never needed to be on it and never thought I would.

    Is it not correct that by signing on they help make any changes to your cv and help with job applications- therefore more likely to get an interview

    No it isn't, particularly in the early days they are there to ensure you meet the commitment you signed up to on your Jobseekers agreement only.

    So they do nothing to help then? I don't see it as a way of living. I want to work.

    We all want to work but I sign on as I need the £71.70 not because I enjoy going there

    I would think that not many people enjoy it. But I would also think there would be things they could do to help people get back into work.
