So I have a 63 year old sister who is currently on jsa. She worked in factories since school and had no qualifications. For a while she attended a special school so does probably have very mild learning difficulties. She also is living with the after effects of an eating disorder so is not in the best of health .
Anyway she does voluntary work in a charity shop and is by no means lazy
So. She had no internet or mobile phone but is expected to job search daily. This involves a 3 mile round trip walk to the library which is closed one day a week.
Once every 2 weeks it costs her £6 to sign on and see her advisor. Her advisor does nothing to help her. This week she was told that there were loads of suitable jobs she can apply for. In actual fact their was one. Full time kitchen work starting at 5.30 Meaning she would have to leave a 5.00 arem and walk 1 1/2 to get there. Plus it is only temporary.
Anyway She spent her whole hour if internet use trying to apply for this job but it could not be done on the job centre site
Ain't to think that job centre staff are targeted to sanction as many people as possible so set vulnerable people up to fail..
