A friend of mine is trying to claim income based jobseekers allowance. She
has a lodger who pays irregularly and pays gross, ie utilities included.
They have taken the whole rent into consideration which seems a bit unfair,

Voluntary severance / dole
Fri, 27 Nov 2009 00:00:53 -0000

months.
Under a voluntary severance scheme, would they be able to claim any
benefits if their remaining assets were below a particular level, and
is there a waiting period ?

Unemployment is big business
Wed, 25 Nov 2009 03:56:43 -0800 (PST)
I know this is stating the obvious but recently I meet someone who use
to work as a tutor for A4E. She said they made a lot of money from
people being unemployed, just from having people on their courses. If
they could get someone a job then the company also got a big bonus.
They would push people into jobs which ...

JSA stopped because they said you had not applied for job
Tue, 24 Nov 2009 06:14:37 -0800 (PST)
When I was on JSA some years ago I was threatened twice with having my
benefits stopped because they said I hadn't applied for a particular
job vacancy that they had shown me in the job centre.
The second time it happened to me I was able to prove that I had
applied for the job, even though about 3 months had pa ...

What happens exactly on the Jobcentreminus New Deal?
Sat, 14 Nov 2009 08:43:56 +0100
So I am a long term unemployed and next month I'll be on the infamous
New Deal. What happens in practice?

do they last? Is it a daily attendance or weekly, biweekly? Is there a
chance to opt out without losing benefit (probably not but who k ...
