As far as I'm concerned, I'd be better on ESA but since I've been unsuccessful at that, I'm having another look at JSA...
One thing that has always concerned me though is that I'd never be able to apply for enough jobs to satisfy them and I don't believe myself nearly ready for full time employment so any jobs would likely be part time.
The website says that everyone must go and sign on every two weeks (or when asked) in order to prove you've been doing something in two weeks. Does anyone have any experience of how much is expected of you during those two weeks and if any allowance, in either amount of applications or number of weeks to account for, might be given for having something like Asperger's?
Also, does anyone know if the eligibility of "working less than 16 hours" also applies to voluntary work?
I'm planning on sending my local jobcentre a letter about this to see how flexible they might be willing to be before I start going through the fuss of applying.
Thanks.
