A JSA Claimant’s Email To Their MP About Their Jobcentre Plus
November 5, 2013
Readers, I am sharing this because I think it should go viral. It could happen to anyone of us, whichever benefit/s we claim. This is a question of the behaviour of JobCentre Plus staff towards someone they are supposed to be employed to support.
I don’t think it is acceptable, and we should all remember it in case we ever experience something similar.

It’s very academically written – perhaps that’s the problem – the MP cannot understand it!

Using long words does not impress as much as using proper punctuation, grammar and spelling.

Why don’t you try getting a job instead of whinging about it…half the problem is people like you. You are clearly capable of putting together a decently worded rant, unlike most of your fellow unemployed simpletons who would rather be sat on the sofa eating tescos own crisps and watching trisha while slobbing around doing nothing for the remained of their stinky existence. Oh dear the job centre want to make you get a job? How terrible of them.

Alan, not everyone who knows how to spell correctly can work so i would get off your high horse because you are the type of people who make me sick to the stomach, i have 6 o`levels and 2 city and guilds but i can not work because of 2 illnesses i have and i now have to take morphine 4 times a day to cope with the pain so do everyone a favor and shut the fuck up and not everyone is a “simpleton” as you politely put it!!! I bet you are one of those toffee nosed goody twoshoes idiots who think that you are better than everyone else.
I use to work 6 days a week doing double shifts and i bet all you do is sit behind a desk doing nowt.

i own my own buisness and have never had the approach you have alan you are clearly a nasty peace of work and not everyone can find a job that will take them on ive employed several people from the jobcentre and half of them didnt have the qualifications needed for the job and i have paid for them to continue in the job and get qualifications needed but alot of employers expect people allready to have those qualifications needed and not everyone has so personally i hope you end up needing the jobcentres help because you have lost your job and you get sanctioned the way these people are and lets see how you feel scraping by on the little money they are given

If anyone is a simpleton its you, not every person on JSA is workshy though the media and Tories have obviously brain washed you sufficiently for you to believe them, you are an unformed, unable to think for oneself unbelievable idiot.

Getting a job isn’t simply a matter of wanting one. There has to actually be a demand for additional staff in the locale. When companies are downsizing and making existing staff redundant, they won’t be simultaneously taking on new. Business doesn’t work that way.
In addition, if a Jobcentre+ advisor is lying to a claimant, then that claimant absolutely should be whinging about it, and that advisor should be brought to task.

Clarity and consistency is the most important part of any letter of complaint. This email spends too long saying nothing, and will only distract from the point you are trying to make.
Spellcheck, autocorrect and predictive text technology means that there is no longer any excuse for poor spelling.
Gather all the evidence you can, and make an appointment to speak to your MP in person. Leave the legalese at home, and under no circumstances try the Freeman on the Land approach. Keep in clear, simple and accurate. Document everything.
