Advice required re sanction for failing to complete job search, the person concerned is a recovering Heroin addict who managed to obtain a job and got off the methodone and was doing quite well. The company he worked for lost the contract they had and laid most of the workforce. Obviously the person signed on and no problem with the Job centre until last week when they told him he had to look for a job every day and go to the job club etc. He visited the job club and they told him it was pointless applying for a jobs until he had a CV. They were unable to help him to make one until a week or so,s time. This person doesnt know how to use a computer and obviously doesnt own one so he didnt look for jobs on the internet. Today he went to sign on and they immediatley sanctioned him for a month. They also said to him dont do anything stupid , he asked like what and they said like shop lifting etc. He said how do you expect me to eat keep warm etc. The result of this has resulted in him disending in to deep depression and his doctor has said he isnt fit to work because of his mental state. The Job centre have asked if he wouldnt put in the sicknote ,which I dont understand why. They havent offered to lift the sanction. I havent got a clue how to help this person and i am fearfull he will end back on the heroin and the other things that go with it like thieving etc. Any ideas would be appreciated.
