The poor bloke is in a bit of a bind and you hiding behind the anonymity of the internet have a pop,you wouldn't have the balls to say it to the op's face but post it on here and do one.
There's some cowards on here but you pal are the biggest shithouse ,I've had the misfortune to come into contact with albeit second hand.

Try and remember that the staff behind the desk are not the people that set the rules, and the benefit system in this country is so complex that you would need to be a genius with a photographic memory to be able to remember all the regulations relating to each of the different benefits and their add ons, enhancements etc.
As others have said, just make the appointment to have your contributions based JSA move onto income based JSA and make sure you read the rules concerning work capital etc and remember to inform the DWP as soon as your circumstances change, if required also get a social fund loan appointment to get you enough dosh for the leccy food etc until the paperwork is processed (& as they continue to cut the members of staff processing the paperwork, delays will happen and mistakes will happen, again, dont blame the clerk on about £200 per week, blame the cnuts in Westminster that are making the cuts.
& best of luck in getting back into work

Tiattos_Waterbottle said:I've been receiving JSA for the last few months, due to being let go from my last job as it was seasonal work, and today I've woken up to find I've ten pounds in my account rather than the usual 140. Now, just to clear things up, I'm not a loafer or a leech, I'm trying very hard to get work, and will be attending a second interview tomorrow, but I rely on JSA to eat and to cover what rent my Housing doesn't.
I've rung them up to ask what's going on, I always stick to my agreement, I spend an hour or two jobhunting everyday, I go to interviews and attend whatever they ask me to, to be told it was on the first form I sent out that I was on Contribution Based JSA which I wouldn't of asked for as quite clearly I need it as income, and they didn't bother reminding me or letting me know at all. So, now I have to fill out a form to say I want income based JSA, and then that will have to process which could take ages, knowing the jobcentre it probably will.
I'm not really looking for sympathy as I should've read the form over and got this filled in, but it's just underhanded and it's gotten me quite wound up I've only been able to pay half of the rent and though the landlord is fine with this, it makes me look unreliable, and I can't eat. - I guess I'm just venting, I never make topics, but I just feel like on this occasion I had to rant a little bit. I have an second interview following on from one I had a week ago, so hopefully I'll get that and this'll become a non-issue, but I seem to have shite luck.
Well you have my sympathy, the system stinks and I'm guessing your advisor hasn't been too helpful either, there is help and support out there If you need it, PM me if you need some advice

Edit: Apology from he who has too many u's in his name, so fair play.
Chin up, OP. My sister was in your situation for a good year or so, then out of nowhere something popped up and she's back earning decent money again. As others have said, don't let the cocks at the DWP grind you down. Bellends. works for them.

When do you actually access your brain?
The lad has ticked the wrong box on a form so has fuck all money for stuff like food for a few weeks. What the fuck does knowing where he uses the internet matter or were you just being a snide twat?
It was option 2 (me being an utter twat). Sorry, OP. I don't want you thinking I'm a Daily Mail type. In real life I fully support people on benefits; I've been there myself in the past. I hope you have some luck in the near future. And I hope I take the time to read people's posts properly in the future.

Decent. Fair play to you.
