Today I'd seen my adviser first time (made my claim on 19th November), and he made a referral to me to go to an interview out of town a little distance away.
I don't mind the distance anywhere long as it's with 2 hours distance even though my agreement says I need to look for work within 1 hour and 30minutes where I live but I usually like to look further still.
Now I rely solely on public transport as I don't have a license of any kind I've never felt I've needed one yet atleast, now the cost of the trip to where they expect me to go is £2.50 there and then ANOTHER £2.50 back which totals £5, that might not be a lot of money but in the end in my situation it is.
I haven't been paid once at all since leaving Carers alowance and I have no money at all literally NOTHING because my grandmother passed away and it dropped a lot of money issues on my family so I happily gave them the rest of my Carers allowance payments,
The adviser knows I haven't been paid yet because I've told him that already and he STILL expects me to go there? I mean seriously?
I didn't argue with him I was myself just calm and polite and smiled throughout, but when I left I started to feel horrible and worried, the interview I "have" to go to is THIS Wednesday, my first payment is "expected" as someone said to be on Thursday so it's virtually impossible to go because my father I live has no money coming in himself yet for atleast till after Christmas.
I'm not the ordinary job seeker, I've been on once before a long time ago when I was 18 till 19 and now I'm currently 20 years old, I have to fill my booklet with 3 things per week minimum but I ALWAYS fill mine up with more steps between 7 and 10 things each week, I hate the image that everyone on JSA just lays around because I'm not and a lot of others out there aren't and are equally good people as well.
I have no idea what's going to happen when I can't go on Wednesday, I don't feel like eating right now to be honest I'm that worried, I always give an do 110% of my best and now I'm terrified what's going to happen.
What am I supposed to do when/if I get some kind of sanction for it? How am I supposed to help bring in money and help feed my parents and then myself?
I'm suppose to pay digs as it's called to my father when money comes in and I actually want to do that as a way of thanks for giving me a roof over my head, but if it doesn't come in soon I don't know what's going to happen to me or anything.
The JobCentre are supposed to be there to help and all they've done is make me feel miserable and useless, I don't want to go Christmas starving or be without a home, I want to be able to get money in to feed my family, i would like a job if it's possible before Christmas even though there's a slim chance of that happening I still hope and look for work no matter what.
I don't know what to do with any of this or what to do if I'm sanctioned for something way out of my control :(
