Will work programme find out?

since2004

I will start a new job in 2 weeks time, I dont want the WP to get in contact with them. I did sign a paper when I started the WP that they could share information with the jobcentre.
I feel that I got nothing out of the WP but my advisor has been nice and I feel a bit embarrassed to give her one of those forms where I take back the consent.

What will I miss out on if I dont tell the jobcentre or the WP that I start working. Can they find out anyway? Am I right in thinking my HB will stop directly when I tell them I wont receiving JSA any longer? Can I tell HB that I have a job without that information going to the jobcentre or WP?

Thanks

I am confused about why you don't want to tell JCP or the WP that you have a job and want to sign off JSA?

If you merely fail to attend the JCP/WP then they can/will sanction you and you will not receive your final payment - potentially you could also lose out on any run-ons or return to work credit you may be entitled to!

Just sign off at the Jobcentre giving the reason as having found employment. You don't have to specify the name of the employer.

Personally I wouldn't give them the details of an employer if I found the job without their help, because the hassle they might give the employer to provide certain info could easily put the job at risk.

Tell the WP parasites nothing, however expect plenty of begging and pleading phone calls/e-mails from the WP leeches, they will go to extreme lengths to get their pound of flesh

Just sign off JSA and tell the JCP you have found work but not tell them the employer, JCP will not chase an employer, they do not need to know the employer and you will be paid till the day before you start work and not lose ay money, you will not be sanctioned if you fail to attend but you could lose some benefit.

The WP will chase you for the name of the employer so be prepared, they only get paid once you start work and they get the joboutcome signed off so be prepaered for lots of contact and chasing by them

Good luck in your new job. !!
