    Yeah but I am not blind, or someone who speaks no English (how are they going to a get a job I will never know).

    Maybe it's legislation for them, not for me unless you have a link so share with us all. Or shall I say when I sign next week that I am going to read them off my phone.....oh no don't have one.:rotfl: Cant do that if you are blind or short of the English Language.


    Here you go please tell me where it says evidence has to be provided in writing at your signing. It says to provide information not in which manner that info needs to be provided

    And yes Daily signing will be enforced from January.

    How long would you have to be out of work before you need to do that?

    How will the advisers cope? they seem busy enough as it is.

    Funny how none of us know about the enforced daily signing yet. How are people who have to get public transport to and from the JC as their nearest is miles away going to manage.

    Here you could spend £4+ travelling on the bus to get there and back. £20 of your money to live on each week going on signing.

    You'd be better off dead.

    It for people who are at the end of their Post Work Programme support. So 3 1/2 years.


    That's the million dollar question unfortunately. We still don't know exactly how we are going to work it in our office we have already had 3 meeting around it and still not pinned it down.

    for any off cycle ( non signing day) appointment you attend at the jcp you can claim your travel fees back.

    Well I can tell you it says on my JSA to provide a 'full written log of all job applications'

    And the sheet given to me says 'Jobcentre Plus require each customer to complete a job search log for ALL job search activity and bring this each time you attend your local office and sign your declarations'

    Maybe I have read that wrong you know the bit where the sheet says 'Jobcentre Plus require each customer to complete a job search log for ALL job search activity and bring this each time you attend'

    Since I am a thick unemployed person I can not see on that link where it says you can write your job search on a balloon or read it off a phone instead of writing it.

    That sheet is local to your office, if you don't believe me by all means ask your advisor to show you the guidance. Simple really.


    And yet again trying to twist my words. I will not be responding to any of your further patronising insulting comments.

    If you have to sign on daily then EVERYDAY is 'on cycle' isn't it? Therefore, no travel fees?

    edit: btw, can those concerned stop the bit ching, enough is enough ;)
