you have always been expected to be looking for work. the point i am getting at is because its called jobseekers allowance we get people taking liberties and saying its actually payment for jobseeking. they say the clue is in the name.I think now its more on an emphasis on the word job seeking as I have no idea if when it was called something else you had to prove you were actually 'jobseeking' as I have never been out of work before.
As stated its the amount the Gov say you need to live on, not look for work with.
They care not if you have a phone line or internet (job seeking tools) that's your problem if you don't.0 -

it is an unemployment benefit first a foremost. giving it a different name doesnt change that.sensibleadvice wrote: »Unemployment benefit is a negative term and would encourage some to think it's paid just because they're unemployed.
JSA is a positive term that indicates what it's paid for - an agreement to seek work.
It would be very convenient for lazy people to hide behind the former and claim there's nothing to indicate looking for work.0 -
i have never been required to do 35 hours but it is fair to say they would expect plenty more done if a person was subject to that.sensibleadvice wrote: »So how many do you have to do - more than 20? Seriously?0 -
