Cleaning Jobs and Housing Benefit

Ok thanks but this morning I have got a Job offer in a warehouse in bury however if this cleaning company ring me up today or afternoon and they offer me a interview and I decline it could Jobcentre find out and sanction me? just worried.

They can only find out, if the 'JC' set that interview up.... remember they love stpping people's money.
My cousin has a house 2 babies had an awesome job, then laid off, and the Job centre arranged an interview for some retail work 18 hours....
Obviously she cant manage a house car and 2 babies (for 18 hours) and she turned it down JC found out and almost 'screwed her' even though she has kids they're heartless.... (lucky i helped her fight it) - ANYWAY
If the JC arranged that interview then you need to go but it doesn't mean you'll pass the interview right? (long as you go they can't do anything) or just throw in demands when your in that interview (oh i can work this day but not that day blah blah) you won't get the job but you attended the interview lol so they can't do anything.
Not sure how your living status is but if your with parents then 20 hours? if your alone apartment you need to be getting some form of money 30 hours factory work is good money (you tried royal mail?) - i use to work there as a sorter and use to bring home 480 a week sometimes 600 A WEEK.
if they didn't arrange it? and they know NOTHING about it then don't go you'll be wasting ya time man.
Damn my English lol (still not fully awake) - keep in mind many people hate me giving advice they all think im the un-honest British citizen haha.

Hi, I am in a 1 bedroom flat so no I am not living with my parents as I stated this on the 1st page at the start of my post.
I don't think Jobcentre will arrange the interview if I get a offer for this cleaning job as I applied for it on Universal Jobmatch, Jobcentre doesn't know I have applied for this Job.0 -
Then if they don't know? how would they know?
- Exactly.
You could just email that cleaner and said you got an offer 'elsewhere' but seriously you need to make sure the JC don't know.

Hi thanks for your help , will email the company if they get in touch but I am praying the company don't get in touch. looking good so far as I have not had any calls yet
Before I applied for the cleaning Job I should have posted this first, I am regreating applying for this Job
Because what it is, is that I am not good at adding up as my maths are worst and I didn't know if the wage was stated on that Job advert if its a good wage or bad.0 -
Well hope it goes well.
But remember Apply for JOBS on your own steam, don't let JC arrange a bogus interview (these are usually set ups) - Wait and see.
if they do arrange an interview then you have to go to it, (they will check) unless your adviser is nice or a little hilter. - depends.• HSBC (Main A/C)

Are you sure Jobcentre will find out if I refuse a interview if the company offers me one?0 -
So are you accepting the job in the warehouse?0
