With Seetec and got a letter asking for proof I'm looking for work

jimjangles

As I said in the topic title social welfare are looking for evidence from me again that I'm looking for work.
I thought I shouldn't be getting these letters while I'm on Seetec.
It means I have to fill in a form and show I'm applying for jobs again.
Do I have to fill in this form or if I say I'm with Seetec can I avoid filling in this form?
Seetec are frigging pointless anyway there's no jobs I can't get a job and anyway I'm looking after my Mum at the moment and applying for carers allowance but that's going to take over a month to sort out.

If you’ve told Seetec that your caring for your mam and your not looking for work then they’ve had to inform your local SW office and they’re going to stop your JSA payment and you’ll have to go on SWA while your waiting for your Carers to be heard.
You’ll have to go to SW tomorrow and explain that you’ve an application for Carers pending and you can see the CWO about the SWA
Incidentally Carers Allowance is taking at least 12 to 15 weeks to process

I already rang Social Welfare and told them about it and they told me to fill in the form and put a note that I'm applying for carers on it.
So I guess I'll go fill in the form and apply for a few jobs.
It seems silly but that's what I have to do so.
I'm trying to the right thing here.
So anyway you reckon Seetec screwed me over and blabbed on me.
I did everything Seetec asked me to do.
I went to all of their crappy useless meetings and when I was free to work and looking for a job they were absolutely useless in helping me and got me absolutely nothing.
What a waste of space Seetec are.
They're just spies and naggers for the Social Welfare department.
I bloody hate them.
Anyway I guess that's it so.

It’s not about Seetec blabbing and screwing you over.
I have no idea why people have to personalize this.
A huge amount of people referred to Seetec turn out to be not entitled to a Jobseekers payment at all. You are one of these people. Seetec have done their job and reported back to SW that youre not eligible to avail of their services or receive Jobseekers.
You’ve applied for Carers stating that your mother needs full time care and attention and your giving her full time care and attention. SW don’t expect you to look for work once your application has gone in and it’s being processed. Once it’s established that you HAVE applied for Carers then you’ll be transferred to SWA.
Edited to add:
SWA is means tested.
