I dont let it drag me down its just very annoying im very close to getting off this system they can make it as hard as they want im still going to get off it, I just dont think sanctions are justified. I dont have the paperwork for the army as of yet but my recruiter has promised me january intake just lit waiting for my doctor to tick a box an my start date will get released unfourtunetly because i have no proof of income i cannot get a overdraft on my account plus i have 2 huge payday loan debts above my head for the last 2 times they put me on a sanction :/ apart from that im positivve just worn out from all the stress of loosing money getting behind on rent its the same thing but over and over again im a headstrong fit and healthy positive person but even this is grinding me down, as you say i have 4 weeks of this **** left an im out of here just cant see how these sanctions are helping in any way all it does is pile more stress an worry on you feel for the poeple who are stuck in this situation!!!!!!! Another reason why i think posh eaton educated bellends should not be running the country!!!! I fell david cameron ha scapegoated anyone on benifits to the point that even employers thing jsa is for spongers and scroungers so in turn they wont take on many people at all from the job center

Looking back i wish i did!!! Went to appeal today got told if i filled in another form i can get hardship at the end of today (which turned out to be a load of [naughty word]) they obviously say these thiings to keep you sweet an get you out...... ..... Im at my wits end tbh i see achloholics and drug addicts never go without im 4 weeks away from going back to the army an the systme has put a giant spanner in the works, if i didnt have a job lined up id have to go back to crime people need to eat!!!!! How is this system justified and "helping" poeple in any other country this would be against human rights seems to me the worst to be in england is english somtimes i wonder why im signing up to fight for this country again!!!!! thankyou for your reply

I came out of the army in may 2009 due to a knee injury, all is fine now im back to full health, in the meantime I decided to sign on because i only thought it would be 6-8 months till I'd be back in the army. I ve had 2 sanctions before for missing work programme even though no letter was sent out telling me when and where it was????!!!! Since then i have had no problems until last week, i signed on as normal my entire job search was filled in i look for any job to tie me over until i can go back to the army. From the start this woman's attitude was rotten!! I havnt been in work for 3 years because of all the problems with my knee i didn't want to claim disabilty or sickness because that will haunt you the rest of your days the way people on benefits get scapegoated these days, an it was just an injury i wasn't incapable!! She looked at my job search which every section was filled in!! She found one job at toys r us and asked me if i applied for it i said yes, she then said if she was to call them would they have my form i said yes, she then said i dont think this is true im putting you up for sanction i don't believe you have been doing enough!! my entire job search was filled in i sign on on time and i go to every course they send me too an this is still not enough!!!! I felt it was a personnel attack as ive never been spoken to like that in the jobcenter this woman just seemed irate and very unprofessional and rude. Im very very very stressed about this as it a couple of weeks before Christmas i already get underpaid on my housing benefit which i have to top up form out my job seekers which im now not getting, i have no food an no one i can turn to for finacial help. I m pointing out now that im not a scrounger i actually go back into the army in January 2013 so at least im lucky to be getting my old job back, I could completely understand if a person didnt do a job search or didnt go to a course ect ect but i apply for 10 to 15 jobs a week and go to there work program how is this justified and how is it going to benefit the country in the long run, im kinda lucky to have a job to start but those who dont i really feel for and i can see crime rates going through the roof if this carries on!!! does anybody have any advice or been down the same road?? i have 3 job interview next week and have to swear in at my local armed forces office i know cannot get there as i have no money so bassicly this system is keeping me unemployed im at my wits end even people who are sorting thier lives out are being punished this is wrong!!!!
