Another website has gone http://watchinga4e.blogspot.co.uk/ not sure if JSA/Sanctions is their thing, they normally stick to A4e + Emma Harrison

Maybe my twitter account will be silenced, as i post all interesting dwp docs ect There are sanctions changes to the jsa agreement on 16th may, nothing about the WP though. This forum would be a target over the non consent of the new agreement if that's what it's about. (hope not)

Anyone have any info on why these sites have been taken down today? http://unlawfulsanctions.org.uk/ http://mandatoryworkactivity.co.uk/ http://refusewp.com/ http://www.workprogramme.org.uk/ Fingers Crossed this site stays up

They say there are 2.65 million Unemployed, That's at the least a potential 1.04 Billion Pounds in attachment fees alone for the first year, and they get the attachment fees for 3 years. No figures yet for Job Outcome fees or Sustainment fees, no wonder Emma H made sooo much!

Thanks Honda+ID, 20p per mile + parking, that's nice to know. Still i think it's better to get a saveaway or day rider, at least it can be used all day and then passed on for someone else to use Thanks osdset, can get some good info and links from that! I see Referrals to the Work Programme from 1stJune 2011 to end of January 2012 is 565 thousand, of those - 519 thousand Attachment fees were paid to Work Providers, that so far is a whopping "215.6million pounds"

JSA / Sanction "Jobseeker’s Allowance (Amendment)" on 16th May 2012 GOOD CAUSE AND TRAVELLING TIME http://www.dwp.gov.uk/docs/m-20-12.pdf

Here you can see what they are claiming for http://www.dwp.gov.uk/supplying-dwp/transparency-in-procurement/what-we-spend/ Take a look at "DWP payments over £25,000" tis shocking!

haha i do the same, but i do know that you can claim for petrol costs, just they don't pay for parking. Not sure how much they pay per mile or if that is just when attending a course?

I wonder if they claim all travel expenses from the DWP Won't bore you with my cscs escapades it's taken long enough already, and i still haven't got it.

Big fiddle going on here somewhere Im with Ingeus, they send me to Scientium, which have 2 table's in the Next Steps office, in the Connexions building. Wonder who claims for rent, IT Consumables ect?

Hmm i thought connexions were owned by A4e? Strange that their MD is also MD of Scientium (sub-contractor Ingeus) All in it together

They should filter the results for you though! oops.. that would mean doing something for their fees

I think you should be safe if you have your own log, like the job centre one (i just show them that) but i am expected to forward 5 jobs applied via email per week that i apply for, this week iv'e not applied for any jobs via email (so far) so im not sure what they will say at my next appointment, but the job centre seem happy enough as long as im searching.

Im glad your not sanctioned, you seem to know how to handle them:-) I keep all emails, paperwork, anything! and i always take my camera and phone to record (just in case), im not liking these WP and i will make sure they get no more profit off my back! The spamming with these emails should be reported, Flumps is spot on (again) it is a breach of data protection, im at ingeus/scientium but don't get that type of email.... yet!

@flumps That sounds like you have to apply even if the job isn't suitable? To me it sounds like they are spamming with a general list taken from who knows where, then forcing you to apply for unsuitable jobs in the hope that you get work unsuitable/or not, so the wp can claim a job outcome payment.
