no not under the bed but in my safe, i do buy and sell cars on the side plus the bookies you need cash to put a bet on, 90% of people who use the bookies are on the dole believe me.

yes i was self employed for 10 months up until i claimed jsa and i will have a tax liabilaty in april.

no not paid enough n i contributions, i'm down the bookmakers alot and win alot but i dare not tell them this

i have gave them the last 12 months of statements which shows i withdraw my earnings the day they went in. it clearly states on the dwp website that you can have savings in cash but there is no information of how to prove this, if it was in a bank they want statements but no information how to prove it if it is in cash.

thankyou for the reply melissa, i have offered to take the money down to the job centre plus office but they have refused to accept it, basically they said being has i have such a large amount of cash they are not willng to count it , i have wrote and signed an affidavit stateing i have 10k in cash, they find it unusual for someone to have such a large amount of cash and that i could have more than this and only declaring the 10k.

hi i recently applied for income based jsa, and when they asked what savings / capital i have i told them i had 10k but this is not in a bank account but in cash which is the truth they asked for proof / evidence of this i asked how they would like this to presented as it is in cash i have forwarded bank statements which shows that i withdraw all my earnings from my bank account on the day it was put in i leave just enough to pay direct debits and so, the reason for this is i think banks are the biggest robbing fleasing *******s and i don't give them the opportunity to use my money to invest then charge me for being a few pence overdrawn. anyway because i can't show them proof of this cash they have replied to me saying i have over 16k in savings / capital and not entitalled to jsa i asked for a review on the decision which came back they are not changing there origonal decision i managed to get a call back from a decision maker who said that any future claim for benefit would be dissalowed because i have not shown evidence proof of this savings capital the burden of proof is on me to prove i'm appealing this and waiting for a date to be set. does anyone know there proccedure for dealing with savings / capital in cash any help would be most appreciated.
