    Don't read receipts require the email recipient to tick a box to send the receipt?

    ...so that's no guarantee of 'evidence'.

    Correct. The end user has the option to send the read receipt. I never send them, one of the most annoying features of email in my opinion. I reply when I have time, not straight afterwards without thinking about it, only for them to get angry at me for not replying immediately.

    How can that be? How many had you applied for? How many were you meant to apply for?

    Haven't people said once you have signed for a period your job search/applications are all signed off.

    What period of job search have they sanctioned you for?

    I thought sanctions ends and the claim re starts, never heard of a re claim.


    Madness isnt it, make it up as they go along. Yes i 2as told to fill in a reclaim form. All this messing about and admin costs.

    So how many did you apply for? How many did they say you needed to apply for?

    Have they just not signed you off then? No appeal?

    Thats interesting, when I phoned in sick I was told it was 2 sick days within the life of the claim! I went in on that say so, I really struggled, to be fair to the advisor she did keep asking me if I was ok as I sat there trying not be sick over her desk! And again to give her credit she made it as short an appointment as she could.

    Does anyone have a link to the 'rules' that apply to job seeking as this is not the first time I have been told something and since found out (via MSE threads) that I have been told incorrect information.
    Yes I meant 2 sick days when you are meant to sign on which is really two periods of sickness.

    If you were ill Mon to Thurs but sign on Friday no one know you are ill.

    Its to stop you missing the sign on as its ever 2 weeks and a I guess they say a bit shifty if you are ill on the signing day 3 times.

    Yes I understand that, you would be very unlucky to be sick 3 times in any 2 week window on your exact signing day within a year.

    However I was told 2 days/periods sick in the life of your claim not in a year.

    Glad you quoted that because it looks like it was deleted.

    red devil, your JSAG will specify how many jobs you must apply for every one or two weeks, as well as how many sources you must use, it's pretty basic stuff. If you really think applying for one job in two weeks is acceptable, then you really do not want to work.

    Then again, you sabotaged a job interview by asking them about sick pay despite people unanimously advising you not to, so it doesn't come as any surprise.
