    But if you don't need to provide proof of the jobs you say the claimant could have applied for, that leaves it wide open for a dishonest adviser to abuse the system. The claimant has no hope :( Yes some may deserve the sanction but everyone should be entitled to a fair 'trial'

    I don't disagree but unfortunately that's what happens

    Appreciate your honesty. It has never happen to me I suppose if it ever did then it would be time to complain about it to my MP.

    It must be a miss type at their end but hopefully you can use that to defend your case :) I can't see how they can find that many jobs that match up to your jsag what advisor would spend the time finding all them when less than a quarter of that number would still be enough to put forward for sanction.

    its not a mistype, they have broken it all down. Best if i post again when ive got to the bottom of it. Its so incompetent though. They also said i was stopped one weeks money then three they dont know what they are doing.

    I cannot understand why she would think you could apply for 200 jobs?

    How long did she give you to do this?

    Were all these jobs within normal skill range, and reasonable travelling time?

    Lin :)

    thats what i have to find out.

    You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands..........for instance, if they are placed around your throat, she's probably slightly upset. ;)

    Advisor days they have been destroyed is he telling the truth. Those forms have evidence of my jobseeking.

    What's been destroyed? The job search booklets/sheets you fill in?

    Are you saying for the period of doubt they have over you, you had handed in the sheets at your signing?

    Please tell me you have copies ie you said 'can I have a photo copy of them if you are keeping them'

    No?

    The last 3 times I have signed they have put them in my file and I say 'can I have them back' they say 'we need them' so my reply is 'how do I chase what I have put on there then'. 'Can I have a copy'?

    JC say 'oh here have them back'

    Too lazy to get up and copy them and have been challenged for copies :)
