    The office is right, you have to be looking for full-time employment and available to take up a full-time job. Your lucky that they haven't cut you off already. Can your wife not get a part-time job? if you do get a full-time job you might be entitled to F.I.S.

    tonto - all you need to do is to apply for jobs and receive a rejection letter which you can then submit to the SW office to show that you are fulfilling the requirement for "Actively Seeking Work"
