Signing On Fully This Week, Have A Question To Ask

STIG83 · 20-04-2011 4:09pm #1

I have been put to sign on fully this week, before this i was sending in the slips to my Social Welfare Office with the x's and o's.

I got my first payment in my Post Office today, but what i want to know is: i got the yellow slips in the post today for the next month, is this a mistake?

Should these not be coming to me now since im signing on fully.
Will i ignore them or just keep handing them in to my SWO every week with all x's?

Send them in anyway,they might have been posted out before the system caught up with your change in circumstances.

Will do,have another question:
Today i got another letter from them about an interview i have with FAS the 3rd of May, is this to get people back to work or do a course? I never even signed up to FAS.

Most people who are unemployed are signed up with fas.They have a standard interview to see what your skills are and what if anything they can do for you.

My situation is unusual, im still in my employer's books, just no work for me, this is been going on since January.

If you were given a p45 you are no longer on anybody's books.

STIG83 · 21-04-2011 5:40pm

My boss still has the P45, sorry i should have told you that.
That what i meant by been still in his books.

Unusual you might be asked for the p45.They are require by the social when you make a claim,as in not the x's and o's but full time out of work.

My boss gave me a letter with the reason why there no work to hand in to the SWO. Something i thought would be only temporary(only a few weeks) has turned into a long term thing.

No its not. In fact, its very common.
However, you are claiming a Jobseekers payment not an I'm temporarily out of work and have no income payment, and therefore you HAVE TO BE capable of, available for, and looking for full-time work. It doesn't matter one bit that you are currently on somebody's books if they have no work for you. You have to be looking for full-time work else where.

The Fas interview sounds like its part of the Employment Action Plan and if you don't attend, you run the risk of having your payment reduced.
