Lainey you are one of the genuine ones that are seeking work, that is why you struggle. I know all about how the forms work, and trust me on this.. they DO NOT check them. The person I refer to used to write the name of any old company down and then make up a phone number for them making sure the area code was correct. He did this the entire time! He never applied for a single job he put on his form the whole 10 years. ANd all those interviews with job seeking agencies etc.. pfft all you need to do is say some crap excuse and reschedule another interview. I was amazed at first how much he got away with skipping appointments etc and still kept his payments! Soon I realised it was easy as piss to do, and many do it.
Everything you mentioned Lainey is the same as it was for him.. he abused the system, the same system you are using. The system has not changed at all.
This is why I hate it so much, because I know there are people like yourself who need that support as you are genuinely looking for work with that support, whereas this bloke wanted it to pay his dealer and get some beer with his. He also wrote bogey amounts of rent he paid too, as he said he lived with his parents, although he lived with (off) his girlfriend at the time.
Parasites are what people like that are.
