hi my name is josh father to twin boys aged11, on monday i went to sign on as normal to be told by the advisor iv'e been placed on a sanction for not doing enough for looking for work,even though i'm on the work programme. I have a few health problems and currently waiting for an operation on my arm ,, the work programme provider has already said to me that i have done every thing they have asked of me ,so can a j.c.p advisor sanction me because she thinks i have not done enough to find work even tho my job seekers agreement says write to 1 employer a week and phone 1 employer a week even tho ido on average 3 of these can somebody suggest something because i'm at my wits end ?
well i went to jcp and got told nothing they can do but I WAS LUCKY BECUASE THE DECIOIN MAKER MADE THERE MIND UP IN 2 DAYS.. so i applied for a crisis loan ,upon being connected after 45 minutes i said i was on a sanction so goes thru the phone application for her to turn round and say sorry but your on a sanction OMG but at jcp she looked at my job searcg book and jsa agreement gave me 2 forms to fill in then looked at them again and said"something not right here do you mind if i photocopy them" and i will put them with your appeal its just a good thing i have good friends to rely on
So do you think that it is ironed out now or are you still waiting to hear from them?
Hi joshyboy99567
Welcome along
I am not sure what has happened here....I would say get in touch with your WP provider first thing on Monday and explain what has happened and ask them to contact Job Centre Plus uregently to iron this out. In the meantime, you can appeal against a sanction, and JCP have a duty to tell you how and provide a leaflet so get on to them too as a matter of urgency.
Good luck and let us know how you get on
