Well JSA is paid in arrears - When you sign you wait to get money so what do you live on? You borrow it so then when you get it you pay it back or pay a credit card etc

A lot harder when you have taken home £550 a week to suddenly get £72.10

Bills have to be paid etc

Yes but not everyone has major bills. £500 a week. I wouldn't have major bills if I earned £500 a week

What branch do you sign at?

Yes a drop but learning to manage money is a good skill which people learn to do when on jsa. Also to try and reduce bills as well.

I didn't say my bills were £500 a week I said all money gone in moments.

I have had to buy things like food on credit cards then the mth payments go up to a point it takes all your JSA. Pay one bill ie a credit card then use that money to pay the phone/internet etc

I am in debt more than I was when I had a job.
