How many months does it go to weekly signing?

It should be two week signing if you are "paid" two-weekly. Its a small price to pay for what you get, I am getting a total of about £8500 a year as a single bloke (JSA/ESA + HOUSING + COUNCIL TAX), plus the other benefits such as glasses, dentist, NI etc.

I admit it is a totally inefficient system, the amount of time I have spent filling in paperwork, telephone calls, interviews etc is almost adding up to a full time job in itself.

I think what happens is if you are unemployed for less then 6 months then you sign on weekly. Then after that its every 2 weeks. A mate of mine just became unemployed so she has to do a weekly sign on in Birkenhead.

So you you only have one period of signing on weekly?

I dont think its that. My son started 2wks+ is still every 2wks? Im thinking age related???

you go for an interview+ then 1st sign on the following week

On both occasions my initial sign-on was at interview then 2wks after. One was at Upton JC+, the other at Birkenhead. If it does make any difference, I am older than 16, and 18, and 21 and 25, and .... , aw, just keep going!

Ive had 3 interviews this year and after one of them they made me sign on weekly for 4 weeks but just need to know if this will happen again any time.

i sign on every 2 weeks and have got a interview next week to see how they can get me back to work i know a lad who doin this a few weeks ago and theyve put him in a charity shop voluntery there useless i went there to day to sign on i was there for less than 2 minutes i gave them my signature and that was it



my inbox is empty now

After your 13 week review you will go onto weekly signing for 6 weeks so really you are attending the jobcentre 3 times extra e.g.

this week signing as normal, next week jobsearch, week after signing as normal etc etc...

nothing to do with age everyone is required to do it after 13 weeks once the six weeks is done back to fortnighly.

im currently signing on every week for my reiew there no point tho because there is no work

Why is everything so bloody complicated? Feel sorry for those trying to get employment (watched the Tees Street vid yesterday). I was in the same boat in the mid 70's so know what it's like, hang on in there and keep trying. Agree about the charity shop shoit, you work for nothing but those who are actually running it higher up the scale are getting good money from the charity and they sort out anything of value before it gets to the point of sale, seen it so nobody try and tell me it doesn't happen. Don't lose hope fellahs. I packed in my bank because they transferred the answering service to India and went to one which still employs Brits. The Jock at Lloyds thanked me for the token effort, if everyone did things like that then someone would have a rethink about farming out jobs abroad.

I have to do this, I have to go to the job centre every week, and also have to fill in the booklet that they give you. I have been told on several occasions that I am not filling it in correctly and that they will stop my benefit.

Once you reach 13 weeks then you have to go every week. You still only sign on every 2 weeks but then you need to go every other week for them to search for jobs for you.

Do they still have job club?
