I've just had a letter from dole saying that they coming to my house, WTF?

I'm back on the dole in a few weeks, i'll prob need to start a thread about it asking for advice.

I got grilled by a complaiance officer before because i share a 2bed with a girl. He asked questions about my relationships, and has claimed apparently everytime i sign on now they are going to check to see if i'm going out with that person i live with. Even he claimed when i go share a flat with guys.

How are they going to check? Ask you 'Are you in a relationship with X?' every time you sign on?

Probably ask me in for an interview yeah and then every single time i move flats, if they actualy bother to do it. I managed to get off the dole before they made their decision, i understand where they were coming from, it's a long story to explain and i did seem a bit suspect but am innocent.

He made it seem like they did this all the time to everyone, and he was adamant they do it to same sex people sharing a flat. I'd love to actualy know of an actual case where they have picked 2 guys sharing a flat together and decided to investigate them, inviting them in to prove they aren't more than just mates.

I don't mean to be insensitive and all, but has everybody here been on the dole at one time or another?

i did for a short while between dropping out of uni the first time and getting a job to fill the time before going to uni again , however i don't know owt aobut the whole JSA shizzle other than the initial claim as i'd get meself employed before my first proper signing on ... still the JSA was nioce to buy my parents a pressie for bankrolling me between official last day as a blaaddyy staaawdent and beginning the job

I used to get that. I guess they're entitled to see that you're not fiddling your claim but it's a fucking pain in the arse.

If you've got a shiny new laptop, maybe it's best to put it undre the bed.

Bed; you have a bed, too????
