Changing signing on day?
Mon 09-Nov-09 10:47 AM

Good morning all,

is the signing on day absolutely fixed? ie can my client get the day swapped so he can continue his (part-time) college course. He goes to college one day a week and of course it's on the day he has to sign on. Now the college is getting shirty about him missing so much time.

God forbid that he should try to get off JSA by doing a course!!!

Thanks!
S

They said no, and sanctioned his benefit when he didn't turn up. At least I think that's why, it's all a bit confused so I've asked for full reasons.

Thanks,
Suzy
