I signed a new JSAG the week before induction onto the WP. I still need advice wrt being forced to apply for arbitary numbers of jobs.

Another forum user thinks that after 13 weeks my JSAG is no longer valid.

There's been no mention of an Action Plan as yet. I won't be signing it as it's not a requirement for receipt of JSA. I will however, take reasonable steps to find work/improve chances. Today I was told that the jobs I've applied for and told the Jobcentre about, don't count. I have to apply for as many jobs as Ingeus say. I don't have a choice. Figures of 10 or 15 were mentioned. The question is, is just sticking to my JSAG enough? Can they force me to apply for jobs with threat of sanctions?

Ingeus seem to think that my fortnightly signing on at the Jobcentre is separate. My contract is with the Jobcentre and not Ingeus. They (Ingeus) expect 3 jobs applied and declared to the Jobcentre and then as many jobs as they say I must apply for and declare applications to them on paper unless I want to be reported to the Jobcentre for possible sanctions. Are they allowed to force me to make many, many applications far in excess of what my Jobseeker Agreement stipulates? I always exceed the mininum requirements for activity that the Jobcentre expect of me. Has anyone made a request for info on this to DWP Central FoI Team regarding this?
