 They saidWell unless you deleted that post too, yes.
 And you even stated you applied for 1 job, AP007 quoted it before you deleted it.
 You're more interested in being paid for being sick than earning a decent income, speaks volumes.

 Now 'I' I think was a typo and not '1'

            can anyone comment on whether these decision makers decisions are legal, we work by law in this country. The gvt says you must have so much money by law to live on, yet some nameless people in a office somewhere can fine you. Is this legal?
 what do these people think they are doing sitting in an office making decisions about people they dont even know?
 Would they like their wages docked because the boss says they arent doing enough and keeps changing the goalposts.
 I want to know is this legal?
 Where do you suggest they sit?
 Of course it's legal. Do you not think they will have considered this?0

 The Gov says JSA is the money you need to live on but you have to look for work to get it.
 Lots of people get the sack for 'not doing enough' or they don't get a pay rise or over looked for promotion or bonus etc.
 If you have not got a definite figure from the JC as to how many is enough or tell us how many you did apply for none of us can judge if we think that's fair.We’ve had to remove your signature.
