    If your circumstances havnt changed in any way at all since you first made the claim, and as long as you've been looking for work and can prove this, then you don't have anything to worry about.

    I heard of few people getting those.
    it was for a review of their JSA claim. they asked some questions about jobs seeking efforts they had be making etc

    asking them about CV and telling them about places where the can go for help with that etc.

    the lad I knew who went for it said it was fine the officer knew bad jobs market. he had proper CV, degree and did Job bridge so was complying and engaging with the system.

    Im on JSA, I left college recently, went from BTEA to JSA, maybe thats it? Also changed address but that was months ago. Bit worried about the evidence of looking for work. Dont get me wrong I have been trying but there is not much in the way of evidence. I never even get a reply from anywhere when I apply.

    You should write down the details of everywhere you applied to even if you havnt had a reply.
    Obviously you notified them of your change of address.
    Inspector wants to know who your living with now and what you are doing to look for work.

    Probably just a standard review. I wouldn't worry too much about jobseeking efforts for the inspector though. By all means bring what you have (and the suggestions above are spot on) but I reckon the inspector won't need them.

    If you apply on-line via job-sites etc you should be able to print off a list of jobs you applied for. Also if you have email etc then these would count. Maybe print off a few to show the SW Officer the actual emails/job-sites.

    Print-outs of the various Job Adverts is what I keep for everything. And print off each Email / Letter for the different ones. And I usually make 3 copies of any P.F.O.'s I get back (1 for me, 1 for that Job Activities Form they send around every now and again to fill up, and another copy in case anyone else ever needs to see!) That's all I keep. Can't think. Don't know is there any else in terms of proof that could help.....? Could be totally wrong here, but I think an Inspector is more interested in examining Bank Accounts and if there's any possibility of you getting income from anything else that you're not disclosing, I don't know if they're that interested in jobs that you're currently applying for, but I could be wrong.

    Fair play for keeping those sort of records but personally I'd just retain the emails and offer to email them to any officer of the department that requests such efforts.
