JSA - under 25 - having to sign on every week and far away from home?

gettingready

My daughter is signing on every week. Which I have been trying to explain since I started this thread. She was told to be signing on every week. So no refunds on travel.

Because I do not want her to walk through an unsafe/dangerous area where they decided to put the under 25's sign on place as part of some no doubt "regeneration project".

Anything else?

But what does she want? She is an adult after all.

Is she going to refuse any jobs on the basis that 'mummy doesn't think it is a suitable area'?

And YOU would want YOUR young daughter to hang around/walk trough a dodgy area with all local low lives hanging around 24/7?

Where there is a JC 15 min away in a safe area?

Only because some pen pusher decided it is a great idea to place U25 advisers in "regeneration area"?

So many really aggressive replies on here I can not believe it.

As I said before, it lacks any logic - the whole set up.

The only person I see being aggressive is yourself.

I would allow an adult child to make their own choices.

She won't be signing on each week. She'll sign every two weeks. The alternate weeks will be attending the JCP for an interview/meeting with the adviser. I had to change to weekly visits after 3 months. I really don't see the point in it, all it does is use up more time.

Couldn't she just take a part time NMW job so she doesn't have to sign on at all? I would, but I have to take into account childcare issues.

She is not signing every week, she is attending weekly. There is a difference!!! She will, if she ask, be refunded for her off cycle attendance!!

Additional issue - the CT going up but her not getting CT benefit and me not getting second adult rebate so having to pay extra while she is on JSA - which again will have to come from the little money she gets. Leaving her with almost nothing and me with more things to think of/pay for.

Considering that you claim to be a higher rate taxpayer (!) your attitude doesn't seem logical to me.
