3 Days Left

[stormforce]

Till i get laid off.
I went to the job centre to see about claiming and all they said was if i'm laid off due to ill health then i wont work again.Thats even after i said i want to retrain so i can get another job.
It makes me sick when you want a job and all these morons can say is oh well you'll never work again.What the hell do they know what i can do and can't do for christs sake

mate if thats the case,and do open university courses for free

jobcentre will do sod all but waste your time and there's for the first 6 months mate, took me about 6 weeks of dickin about vistin the place 2 - 3 times a week to have various meetings with different advisors before i got fed up, signed off, and registered as self employed so i could take on casual work. I was actually turning work down so i could go to the jobcentre to sign on and claim for jobseekers allowance, crazy situation to be in really.

All for £90 a fortnight. Apparently because i was taking on casual work as and when i was offered it (averaging 1 or 2 days a week) that meant i couldn't be looking for full time work so i wasn't entitled to it. Yet you could have a job with a 15.5 hour a week contract and that'd be fine to carry on claiming JSA as well.

Hi Richard, claim for disability living allowance, once granted even at the lower rate, it opens up training possilbilities, all job centers have to have a disibility adviser, the normal job center staff do not want to know, they have the normal alkys etc trying there patience all day, so when a normal person comes in they do not know how to deal with them. Call the disilbility benifits helpline, explain the situation to them, they are independent and really helpfull.

Chin up Richard, all these dicks know n do for ya is make ya more depressed than ya already feel n that's what ya don't need !!!!
Keep ya dreams alive mate n focus on what ya feel ya can do n not what ya have too.
You'll get there
Good Luck mate

There's always a Payback .... Don't know where n don't know when tho !!!!

Last day of work tomorrow and time to move on to something new.
For the time i will go into breaking the surfs and i'm going to get myself a decent car trailer and start to do private recoveries.I have got a few contacts that i will be able to get some work off for the time so i'll see how that pans out and go from there.
I'm still looking at going to college to re-train but that won't be now till September when the new courses start again
