Job centre plus interview.

I have just been for my first Jobcentre Plus interview this week .Transferring from ESA to JSA.I can only describe it as "like being strip searched at an airport !" Well done JobcentrePlus West Derby Liverpool.

Yes, in the eyes of the DWP you're now classed as 'fully fit' - even if you aren't yet - and therefore subject to the full mercy of the Jobcentre.

 

Best advice I can give is to try and show them that you're already on the ball with regards to looking for work, that you're literate, confident, have a good CV, etc which might stop them sending you on pointless courses and workshops. They'll probably still have some scheme they can catch you with though, the trick is to try and minimise the damage. Good luck!

Yep, I echo that, good luck but remember like the rest of us that find ourselves out of work it is YOUR FAULT that you are ill or have been made redundant or there are not enough jobs. No, honestly, it IS your fault

No it isn't that at all. For far too many years those that were sick and unemployed were on the whole basically left to their own devises. There were no real regular checking of continuing entitlement. It was basically left to the claimant to look for work and for the sick to tell the DWP that they had improved and needed to be transferred to the JC to sign on.

 

 

It was found that a high proportion of both were quite happy to carry on regardless and make benefit claiming a way of life.

 

 

As soon as pressure was applied to regularly check their sickness benefit and the job searching activities, some claimants started to shout that it wasn't fair - why can't you leave us alone?

Pressure is needed on every claimant so that the minority are made to comply, whereas in the past they hadn't.

Like everything, it is always the innocent and honest that get caught up in the changes all because of the minority.

Dear god wanton, you obviously believe all the governments propaganda thats been drip fed to us over the last few years to come up with that view.

 

The last damn thing a sick person needs is more pressure on them.

OK so how many % of people were found to be incorrectly receiving benefits. I want statistics. What do you define as high?

 

Secondly EVERY CLAIMANT? So is it acceptable to pressure the genuinely ill so they commit suicide?

 

PUTTING incorrect pressure on the wrong people INCREASES SICKNESS!!!!!! Have you not wondered WHY ESA claimant numbers are massivly increasing as JSA claimants decrease????
