An Update On Eddie- Who Is Now Hoping For A Merciful JobCentre Advisor
October 28, 2014
Right. This one goes out to anyone who still believes that there’s a safety net in place. It’s also for anyone who believes that the jobcentre system is still vaguely functional, or that there are checks and balances in it to keep things fair.
This post is an update on a story I’ve been writing about a man with learning difficulties who is signing on for JSA. He sometimes struggles with his jobsearch, because he isn’t able to use a computer to apply for work. He hasn’t been sanctioned so far, because his jobcentre adviser has been reasonable. The problem is that she’s suddenly no longer his adviser. Now, he’s in a precarious position. It is unlikely that he’s the only one.

I did an appeal for someone on WRAC ESA who was doubly incontinent amongst other health issues, her JCP work adviser told her to “Look for jobs near a toilet then”
