Forums Forums Wirral Information Wirral info Job Centre - And Signing Weekly

I am still seeking work at the moment and you wouldn't believe the amount of job i am applying for and getting no were.

But i have an interview next week with the job centre and after that i will have to sign on weekly for a few months which is a real pain and is pointless to me as there not helping me one bit getting back to work.

Is there any way to get out of not signing every week?

Get on the incapacity benefit-joke. Do a course that they may offer you. Ask them. Good luck with the job hunting.

ye dont sign on?
Ive been out of work 8 weeks now carnt be arsed singing on for what they give ye.

if you dont sign on apart from the little bit of benifit money you dont get, you also do not get your national insurance stamp credit. This is worth getting out of bed for in the long term.

ye know that not out of work long catch up from wages?

im not sure

Thanks mate.
Just tried to send you a message but it says your imbox is full.

Could it be down to duration of signing on? Maybe? He been on dole since june?! Or it could be age..,

Probably like everything else government related, they just make it up as they go along!!

I know that when you sign on, usually after about 13 weeks, they apparently review your status etc.

Also, some people can qualify for more allowances, being a homeowner etc etc. Maybe it has something to do with that?

Yes, you catch up from your wages when you restart work. Most likely on an emergency tax code. You'll end up paying more NI (and possibly income tax) than you require to make up the deficit, but without proof that you were unemployed you'll have difficulty getting a rebate.

Worth noting, it's not unheard of for people to receive an NI invoice from the tax office when they've not been signing on but have been out of work (especially when it takes a while longer than they thought to get work).
