Anyone else on JSA

I find it stressful being on it, and scared they will sanction me if I don't search for jobs for 2 hours a day - If I don't get JSA I starve and can't pay bills so made homeless.
You also have to go every week now.

So search for jobs for 2 hours a day?

No, waste of life

Enjoy being sanctioned then

If I starve nobody would care anyway/ notice

I am. Don't find it particularly stressful though.

Hi there. I was on JSA for a while last year. The jobcentre won't let you completely starve. If you get sanctioned you can claim a hardship provision (reduced benefit amount) for the period of your sanction. If you've been claiming for more than six months you can claim a budgeting loan, interest free loan to cover living expenses and job searches.

Dont apply for jobs to stop them sanctioning you. Apply for them to get a job.

Ja, but then my housing benefit is affected

No, waste of life

Get a bloody job yaa bloody scrounger,you should be grateful that me taxes pays for ya food n shelter

If you want money, you have to earn them by doing something productive. Why should people who work hard pay for someone like you who isn't bothered to look for jobs just for 2 hours a day?

Nice try, you two only work because you have too, and you pay taxes because it benefits the society you are a part of. Don't act like you're doing something noble. You pay taxes because when someone robs your house you want the police to come round, you want roads to drive your car along and street lamps to walk under when you stumble home from the pub.

As much as they wrongly treat JSA applicants like scum, they won't sanction you so long as you meet your claimant commitment, you can easily get away with just applying to 5 jobs a week.

Not that I'm advocating that, I'm on it right now and put in more effort than that because I quite desperately want a job at this stage. It's not even about the money, I just can't stand having to deal with such rude and horrible people. One of my advisors is absolutely lovely, but the others can be really horrible and there's just no need for it.
