    Well 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.
    They said

    'Originally Posted by red devil viewpost.gif
    I. If they want me to apply for more jobs they have to say how many otherwise the goalposts will keep changing. .'

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

    but then yes it was deleted in full!!

    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?

    The DM looks at both sides of the evidence and makes a decision based on that.

    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.

    Does it say it is the law though?
    I am sure its something like 'this is the amount the government says you need to live on by law'
