Haven't you had a rest for nearly three years now though?
Many people have worked a lot longer and got nothing to show for it, way of the world I'm afraid but I fail to see why others should work hard to support other people who want a rest. You have another 20 years till you het you pension so how much longer you planning to rest?
No getting a job isn't easy but staying on JSA will not become any easier.0 -
well i have now had a normal signing on since leaving wp and am hoping it doesnt keep like that. they kept me waiting and then when i finally got called i was there for alot longer than normal. i didnt have to show evidence. they started to go through each item starting with are you looking at 3 sites a day. i just said i do everything thats on my agreement, it was left at that. they asked if i had made a new email and what it was. they then put my email into the computer to search for proof that i had registered on ujm. they did a few other things on the computer and i dont know what it was they were doing. i again got pressured to make my cv public on ujm.0

You can't be mandated to provide the Jobcentre/DWP with a CV (i.e. you can't be sanctioned for not providing a CV). So if you want to keep your CV private just delete it from the system!
Assuming, of course, that you haven't been silly and signed your JSAg with the "consent to Jobcentre Plus retaining my CV" box ticked.0 -

But even then you must be able to withdraw consent, as it's your CV, your own private data.0 -
