    You do have a choice the JSA is money you need to LIVE on not to apply for jobs so ask the JC for the stamps or say you have emailed them as that's 100% proof you did indeed 'write' to the company.

    How are you proving you have written to the companies? A though are the JC asking for proof of postage?

    My adviser told me to write the companies name and address with the postcode on a letter or a sheet when I posted them.

    Id not do that as I don't have £6 - up to you if you have £24 every 4 weeks most of us don't.

    I could write a list of 100 places and say I sent letters - no proof I have

    Btw I have got no choice as I can't afford to loose my Jobseekers, I don't want to be sanctioned. :D

    Actually, you DO have a choice but you have to dispute your JSAg to get it changed. It's 'unreasonable' ;)

    My JSA says write to 5 a week and not how or any mention of email or by letter in the post.

    I keep a separate list of names of companies and can provide emails if they require as proof :)

    I sign on this Friday so if I mention this to them that I can't afford to send 10 letters of a week will their change the numbers of the posts on my agreement?

    You said you can afford it earlier.

    Does it really say by post?

    Email is equivalent to writing.
