I applied for a job based a half-hour drive from my home. They invited me for an interview at another office, 68 miles away from where the job is supposed to be based. I travelled there by train (£26) and there was no direct bus from the station to the interview venue so I ended up getting a taxi (£9).
After the interview I asked if I could be reimbursed for my train fare, but was told this could not be reimbursed. I could understand their attitude if the interview had been at the place where the job would be based, but if they're expecting people to travel miles out of their way then I think they should pay something towards it.
I'm out of work but not entitled to JSA (because dh is working and I don't have enough contributions), so £35 is a lot of money to me.
AIBU to think the organisation should pay something towards my travelling expenses?
