sounds just like them, luckily i’m working at the moment, but when i got this job i went and told the jobcentre that i would be starting work in a weeks time, they said i still had to come in every day to look for work as i was still claiming for that week, i said that i couldn’t apply for any jobs as i had work to start and i wasn’t really available, i was told that i could sign off. about time some people started to use a bit of common sense. dreading when this contract finishes
Always tell your advisor – nothing.
If your contract ends you’ll lose another 1 to 5 weeks weeks. The only honest way to claim out-of-work-benefits is to cheat.
As I have argued in the latest edition of a blog piece I produced today, ‘What I have observed and identified as ‘burn out’ symptoms in people who have been denied benefits by accident or by design has made me somewhat glad that I have only been a one-person household in those times. People can get very irritable and irritating when they are denied basic rights, and such behaviour is all too easily regarded as the fault of the person’s nature rather than how they are treated. Gandhi observed: “Poverty is the worst form of violence.” And it is often easier to ‘lash out’ in anger at those most easily to hand rather than to acknowledge just how much we have been abused by supposedly legitimate authority.’*
