How do you know if someone works in the job centre lives near you?

I suspect the OP's 'friend' will be closing their claim forthwith!

The best ones are the DWP Christmas Dinners where half the serving staff and bar staff are recognised claimants who sign on or are too ill to work

DWP staff also go shopping and a number of claimants are caught working when they serve a DWP staff member

You get DWP Christmas Dinner?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Not to mention the office party and someone in the band hired was recognised.

And the hole digger in the street just outside the dole office.

The discovery that benefits staff might actually leave the office occasionally seems to shock some folk. :rotfl:

Can you imagine what gets added to the DWP Christmas Dinner behind the scenes? :eek:

One local taxi firm won't supply taxis to our office as they are almost all working on the side, they do sometimes turn up at our houses though! That can be an interesting taxi ride and you can never get them to come back for you!!!

You don't choose your jobcentre. It's postcode.

Although I believe that if you have a genuine reason (for eaxmple a close relative works in the Jobcentre in question) you can ask for your claim to be dealt with in another JC+ nearby...
