Been told to continue signing on, Confused!

    Visited my local welfare office today to inform them that my other half would be starting work tommorrow and making an application to FIS.

    At the moment I claim for us both and our children.

    The welfare office told me to have my other half to fill out the FIS form and send it off, meanwhile I need to continue claiming JSA, but return a form with proof of earnings to them for my Qualified Adult and the payment wil be adjusted for them.

    Im really confused, I wanted to sign off and look after our child, but Im being told to continue signing which in effect means Im still looking for work, but I clearly cant take up employment. Meanwhile my other half is sending off a FIS form to claim for me as a QA.

    Im also being told by welfare that FIS are taking 4-5 months to process our claim!

    Any idea whats going on?


    Thanks.

    If you arent available or looking for full time work then you should sign off.

    I think what the person is trying to say is, you will get no payment for maybe 16 weeks with fis, but if you stay on jSA then there will be a payment. any Jsa paid will be deducted from your fis.

    but if you are not job seeking, then sign off.
