you found work yet ben?
I've had a bit of a reprieve over the summer, my sister's been paying me a bit over the equivalent of jobseekers to look after my wonderful little nephew. Their tax credits (or whatever they are) got cut, so they were actually pretty lucky that I was available.
That fun ends next week, my sister is spawning another one and is starting on maternity leave.
I'm not looking forward to signing on again, last time I was spending more time jumping through their hoops to stay on it than I was looking for realistic work. I'm lucky that I'm not a complete idiot, but they pull some horrible shit to try and catch people out. For example, they'll give you a job to apply to (fair enough), but even if you ask they won't tell you the application deadline. If you miss that, then they cut your benefits and have to appeal etc.
