Back to work Allowence - CONFUSION

    Hello there,


    This isn't looking for advice – as I know that's against forum rules (pity lol) but just an answer to a confusing situation -


    I am currently on the job seekers allowance and have being offered a job – which I hope to start on Tuesday, when I first contacted the dole office to tell them they said I was eligible for the back to work allowance, then they said I wasn't as I have not being unemployed for an unbroken two years.


    But later when I rang back (via 11811 services) I accidentally got connected to a different office and had a small chat with the man who answered – he told me that as I have only worked for eight months in the last 4 years (it ended in November 07) that I should still be eligible as there was no citation that it had to be broken and within reason of moving on to a full time employment etc

    So I'm wondering what it the deal?

    Or is it depending on the individual who discerns individual cases themselves?


    As I know that I still have a small window of opportunity to get the forms done but don't really want to have the confrontation of having to go in and say “sorry but your incorrect” and all that, but were all human and mistakes can happen – so I am wondering if anyone knows?


    I have found them very unhelpful in the past (nothing overly forward though) so I hope this is just a error in my favour :)




    Deep and genuine thanks
