Has anyone had to sign on the dole ? I don't won't to do it. But looking like I'm going to have to do it. But I don't know where to start with it all. As I've never had to do it. Anyone no where to start with it all ?

All done online now via the Jobcentre Plus website. Unless you have a health related issue that makes you unable to work, you will need to fill out a claim for Universal Credit which will stop ALL non-disability benefits from the day you click the submit button (such as Working & Child Tax Credits). Average time for a claim to be processed is 5 weeks which means unless you can get an advance, you will be waiting that amount of time before you get your first payment (all benefits other than Child Benefit & PIP are all bundled together in one payment every 4 weeks instead of the old separate payments weekly, fortnightly or 4 weekly) which will be a combination of unemployment benefits, housing benefits, tax credits, etc.

You're the bell end that thought it was amusing that you were being paid to do nothing and didn't want to wake up early to actually earn it.
So you deserve all you get... thick ****

Only been on the dole once , when i was 18 for around 6 months , soul destroying feeling of standing in that que to sign on ,waiting for your turn to be interrogated and trying not to snap at the degrading questions , anyone who wants to work and finds themselves in this situation has my complete sympathy !

Builders are flat out, if you see a scaffold up, go up the ladder and ask if there's any labouring going. Better than signing on.

In fairness your 'lol's and laughing smileys in the other thread made it look very much like you found it amusing which is a little inappropriate given that all of us (you, me, noj) and all our children will be paying for that little break you had for the rest of our lives. Obviously that's not your fault but you really should think before you type mate.
I hope you manage to find work

Can't believe what I read on this forum at times.
Good luck with the Job hunting Chuffy
2 of my friends have recently been made redundant and both found employment within weeks, just crack on and try to ignore the doom and gloom in the press.

Surprised he hasn't been employed in the porn industry for a good few years with a name like that.
