RE: JSA-right to reside for 'six months'
Thu 21-Dec-06 07:52 AM |
Hi Martin,
Thanks for your thought. The reason I wanted a thought on when we could argue the six months runs from (from when the client becomes 'economically active' by seeking work or from when he enters the country)is that there is not an overwhelming case on the facts.
The client speaks very little English (it is difficult to get the client try to speak English),is still under the care of a community psychiatric team, has not worked for some considerable time (the last work I understand form the client was 'cash in hand' for a couple of weeks a couple of years ago)and can seem vague. I am unclear how much effort he is actually making to find work.
On the postive he has attended some English classes arranged via JCplus and continues to sign on. Regards
Regards Paul
