Where do i start i am 41 year old male single on jsa but has been stoped for something that happend in January 2013
Was just surfing the net looking for help or advice an came across this site.
Got up on Friday 6th September as norm checked my emails look for job's Then i here the posty ah a letter from jsa basicly saying my money has been stoped for 90 days starting on the 28/8/13 this letter was strange as it said it was information only an it was for something to do with work programe from January 2013 6 months ago first i have herd anything about it didnt make any sence left it at that as i was due to sign on Tuesday 10th would ask about it then.
On monday i got another letter from DWP confirming it was stoped
this will be the 3rd time i have had my money stoped 2 week and 2 weeks now its 90 days.
I have been on work programes for 4 years about how long i have been signing on a place called triage in Cumbernauld for 2 years & a place in Airdrie Routs to work (routs to die) i did every thing they asked (danced to there music)
4 years an never got an interview onto triage at it for 2 years at the end of it they put you onto a job i got put into The british hart foundation in Airdrie never had a job like it was the only one they had But was willin to give it a go first day their about six ppl from work programes the job was moving heavy furnicher aroud i was giving safty boots from triage but 4 of the ppl did not have any i ask them why they told my they where wating on them today this be monday so carried on with my work didnt even have a sweeping brush was making ppl go down in there hands and nees with 2 bits of cardboard i went staight to the pound shop and buy them a brush gave it to the manager
Onto Tuesday was up the stair moving 3 pice suits about and i triped over a carpet tile that was sticking up so i when to ask if they have tape to sick it down got blanked
Day 3 had my phone with me so started to look abuot to see it there was anymore things wrong,Heres the list i found before i got asked to leave in the public area half a dozen
carpet tiles where pelling of the floor ,wires where hanging out of the wall,the stair hand rail was falling off about 10 feet of it the treads where all stiking up,the fire ecape was blocked up the stair i have PHOTOS to prove this the maneger seen what i was doing and was not to happy phone triage and i left told triage the next day what happend
and nothing got done about it sweept it under the carpet that was my 2 year up.
Then i was told that i would be going o another one this time it was Routes to work(Routes to die) I was told this was diffrent so i thought i would give it a go was on a motivation course for a week i had to sit in a class room listing to a guy bigging up his live and what hes got what hes done,telling us to work on the fly,wit to ppl that are stuggling to pay bills
anyway this guy said he would help me stat a buissnes up so i went and set up a ruff buissnes plan and showed him it and hes said go an loan and he said why not start up window cleaner or wheelie bin wash he was telling all of us to start up windy cleanin and bin wash ,i had to walk it into the work programe because i did not have a bus ticket i never got any expence (think they where at the fiddle)
I could have just said i drove in and got expences no probs but that would be a lie.

I'm sorry, but I find your post really hard to follow and to understand. Not sure if you are using a phone to type it, but it is probably worthwhile you reading through it again and editing (using paragraphs and ideally making it briefer) to make it easier for others to help.
Specifically, what help are you looking for?0 -
Dear Op,
Your post is so confusing that I can't understand what you need advice for?0 -

i am 41 year old male single on jsa but has been stopped for something that happened in January 2013
Was just surfing the net looking for help or advice an came across this site.
Got up on Friday 6th September as normal, checked my emails and looked for jobs.
Then i heard the postie. Aah, a letter from jsa basically saying my money has been stopped for 90 days starting on the 28/8/13
This letter was strange, as it said it was information only and it was for something to do with work programe from January 2013. 6 months ago
First i have heard anything about it. Didn't make any sense. Left it at that as i was due to sign on Tuesday 10th would ask about it then.
On monday, i got another letter from DWP confirming it was stopped.
this will be the 3rd time i have had my money stoped 2 week and 2 weeks now its 90 days.
I have been on work programmes for 4 years. That's about how long i have been signing on a place called triage in Cumbernauld for 2 years & a place in Airdrie Routs to work (routs to die) i did every thing they asked (danced to there music).
4 years an never got an interview. onto triage at it for 2 years at the end of it they put you onto a job. i got put into The british hart foundation in Airdrie.
I've never had a job like it. I was the only one they had. But I was willign to give it a go. On the first day there, there were about six ppl from work programes. The job was moving heavy furniture around.
i was given safety boots from triage, but 4 of the ppl did not have any. i asked them why and they told my they where waiting on them. This was Monday, so carried on with my work.
They didnt even have a sweeping brush. They were making people go down on there hands and knees with 2 bits of cardboard. I went staight to the pound shop and buy them a brush gave it to the manager.
Onto Tuesday, was up the stair moving 3 pice suites about and i triped over a carpet tile that was sticking up so i when to ask if they have tape to sick it down got blanked.
Day 3 had my phone with me so started to look about to see if there was anymore things wrong
Heres the list i found before i got asked to leave in the public area
half a dozen carpet tiles where peeling of the floor
wires where hanging out of the wall,
the stair hand rail was falling off
about 10 feet of it the treads where all sticking up
the fire escape was blocked up the stair
i have PHOTOS to prove this. The manager saw what i was doing and was not too happy
phone triage and i left told triage the next day what happend and nothing got done about it swept it under the carpet that was my 2 year up.
Then i was told that i would be going to another one this time it was Routes to work(Routes to die)
I was told this was different so i thought i would give it a go. I was on a motivation course for a week. I had to sit in a class room listing to a guy bigging up his life and what hes got what hes done, telling us to work on the fly,wit to ppl that are stuggling to pay bills.
Anyway this guy said he would help me start a business up.
So i went and set up a ruff buissnes plan and showed him it and hes said go an loan and he said why not start up window cleaner or wheelie bin wash.
He was telling all of us to start up window cleaning and bin wash.
i had to walk it into the work programe because i did not have a bus ticket i never got any expence (think they where at the fiddle)
I could have just said i drove in and got expences no probs but that would be a lie.
i will try and pop in with daily updates on day 5 of no food had a wee search to see what it was going to be like most ppl will last 50 days .I have half a jar of coffee and thats me out.

You seriously need a literacy skills brush up.
What was your previous employment? Why can't you find anything in that industry?:huh: Don't know what I'm doing, but doing it anyway... :huh:0 -

This isn't a dig, but your lack of literary skills demonstrated in your posts could go some way to explaining why you have been unemployed for so long.
If you have dyslexia I would recommend that you get someone to proof read your application forms and CVs before sending them. Also make sure that you always use Spell Check on your computer.
If you haven't got dyslexia, then it may be worth asking the job centre if they could send you on a literacy course (I am sure that most job centres run them).0 -
