jobseekers agreement- lack of opportunities during lockdown

[Tolstoy1]

Hi does anyone know situation with regards to jobseekers commitment to 35 hours a week jobsearch during lockdown? Most of the jobs have dried up except those in medical and supermarket roles, but as I am a diabetic very reluctant that I should have to apply for these roles which may endanger my health. Is there any sort of reduction in terms of how much time we are meant to spend jobsearching during Coronavirus?

I believe the need to show proof that you are jobseeking has been entirely suspended for the time being.

I can’t imagine they will expect much from you. I actually applied well over a week ago and haven’t been sent appointment time yet. They must be very behind.

Diabetes alone is not a reason to Consoder yourself high risk

Diabetes is a high risk group!

Op you don’t need to job search as pp said requirements have been suspended .

My dad is diabetic and a doctor.. still has to go to work though!

So thankful to your dad and others like him risking their health for patients @LilyE1234

Not high enough to shield for 12w

No not to shield, but many employees are sending high risk in addition to vulnerable workers home.
