I have never been out of work before but the company i worked for went into luquidation so i am out of work. i started claiming JSA on 7 november so ive been signing on every fortnight for about 20 wks now. i have been trying hard to get a job & have had no problems at my sign ons with all my evidence. yesterday i went & was told i had to sign on weekly now as id made it to the 13 week mark?! I asked if this was permanent now until i find a job she mumbled yes. i informed her it costs me between £3-4.80 everytime i go in & as i am a single parent with a mortgage i am struggling to pay my mortgage as it is & every penny counts but she said i cant claim for anything. I go home & google it & found this happens at 13 weeks but for just 6 weeks only?! Is this correct & the lady misinformed me? Also says the extra weeks that i woyldnt normally sign on i could claim for parking then. have i been misinformed again? Im jyst confused as to why ive been put on as weekly signing when i am trying super hard to get a job? What happens should i still be needing to sign on at 6 months? I dont know as ive never claimed anything before. thanks
