Oh let's be brutal here, I never suggested/implied or thought you are a scrounger, that's your take not mine, and I'm a tiny bit offended you put this.
On a more helpful point, I don't have access to your entitlements but there used to be a fund where the job centre would pay for travel for interviews and in some places there is a free travel card for unemployed job seekers. I don't know if these are available, but if you don't ask you probably won't get offered this sort of help.
Have you sought any sort of help or advice that's been suggested on here?
Second part of brutal reply ; regards what may or may not happen on the lead up to 2030, in the last 15 years I've been orphaned, widowed, had my pets die, nearly got arrested, changed job 3 times, dealt with some of the most appalling things That have ever happened in y life, and had to start a debt management plan because my life went down the toilet. If I make it til 2030 it will be a miracle.
I'm not sure it's useful or advise able if you are prone to depression to read the sort of site that makes the associations that they do on the page you linked. I'm not saying it won't happen, I'm not saying it will either but you and me worrying about wont change a darn thing.
So chin up, dig deep and try to think of something positive. When life gets really tough, I can only manage the - I'm grateful for ....having a car that stil starts every day, or whatever the day has brought me, and no at the time I don't really feel grateful for whatever it is, but the thought process seems to help me somehow and I start to feel a bit less naffed off.
Saz.Debt -it's a fight that I'm winning, dealing with debt one day at a time.

I've been arrested for being suicidal, I'm just over six years out of work because I'm what's called an "undesirable", had a notice of repossession earlier this week because my council hadn't been paying my housing benefit - oh Lord, there's the dreaded b-word again, I don't have any quality of life anymore, I'm stuck indoors alone everyday so I have no social skills anymore (as you might have noticed), my family hates me because I'm always asking for money and asking just for bus fare now to get to the jobcentre to sign on as I have no money left by the the time sign on day rolls around, been threatened with court action as can no longer pay outstanding bills (like I can pay money I haven't got, and legal fees, they got no chance I'll be able to pay any of that), so I end up saying to them "just try it, but you won't be able to get a penny".
There is little positivity that I can think of, just that I'm not in any physical pain - yet, only emotional, financial and mental pain. Still it could be worse, we could be like Greece where the EU has destroyed their economy, or like Venezuela where inflation is something like 200%.0 -
The page was there when I looked at it, but I don't feel it's a great loss to society. They may be perfectly correct in their assumptions, but it's not gonna matter to you and me if we can't pay today's bills.
What debt and benefits help have you sought/received ? It must be horrid being in your position, do your family hate you, or just hate the fact you need to ask for money all the time?
One thing I got taught is that nothing will change unless you make changes, and it's so true. Sorry to read about your repossession order, have the council said why they haven't paid, some landlords don't have the cash flow to keep properties unpaid for months on end waiting for benefits. Not sure what other word to use apart from benefits.
Posting on here shows you still care, and still have a bit of fight left. Use that bit of fight to seek help, find that glimmer of hope which keeps you going.Debt -it's a fight that I'm winning, dealing with debt one day at a time.

Thanks.
But I'd like to know what sort of changes you mean. If it involves spending money then I don't have any.
The repo order was withdrawn, it was because my housing benefit hadn't been paid because of the switchover to JSA.
JSA is the only benefit I can get, without it I'd be dead (though I think that's the intention, certainly judging by the UN Agenda they want most of us dead or to live like serfs.)
I think they probably hate me for both reasons. It's ok though, I've been treated badly over the years by them (when this thing started they were going to starve me for a week, and they spoilt my birthday and Christmas because of that (my birthday is a few days before Christmas)).
Today I've been threratened with another sanction because I hung up on someone who called me back after I applied for one of their jobs, because they asked me what I have done recently (I havent done any work recently because I've been on ESA and have only just started looking for work again so I ended up panicking and hanging up, (like really? you're going to sanction me for that?), I've had pharyngitis for the last three weeks but was not told about a J28 form, I've so been targeted by Jobcentre staff trying to get me sanctioned when until last year I'd never been threatened with sanction ever.
And now I know why it is happening, it's all because of Agenda 2030 sustainable development, transferring wealth from the first world to the third world. (Or to the Rothschilds/Rockefellers, big banks, big corporations and politicians.) I know this austerity is nothing to do with paying down a deficit, that is all a big lie to get us to agree to our living standards being reduced. It's called Problem>reaction>solution. Some of it is explained here: http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=28891
EDIT: Just been told my next payment is being indefinitely suspended. What a surprise. Seems the more that these things happen to me the more this agenda seems to be true.0
