    People who abuse advisors clearly need to have their benefits stopped until they behave otherwise. You won't get any argument from me there. I'm just saying that a positive attitude and belief they will get a job will be beneficial to a claimant - and they are far less likely to be long term unemployed than those that are made to feel worthless by their advisor.

    Does anyone know if your travelling expenses are refunded if you are required to attend the JC daily?
    Yes except for your signing day and as long as it couldn't be walked to easily (unless you are disabled).

    D I've heard of appalling stories - such as a JSA advisor referring to a group of job seekers "the s**t is waiting over there".
    If I caught anyone with that attitude I would crucify them
