Literally, one of the first things I've done this morning is call the Job Centre. The lady I spoke to was very polite, and there was only so much she could do because, to quote herself: "As usual, nobody's put any notes on the system.".
It's been over a month since my last payment. And nearly a month since they received the forms they asked for to make the changes after their last f*ck up.
Someone's gonna call me back "before mid-day". But I already know that's not going to change anything.
Thanks to them, we're not getting any help with the rent or tax now either. We won't be able to afford our rent or bills next times around. And, obviously, that means there's no money for Christmas right now either.
On top of this; it's affecting my health. Both physically and mentally. So, thank you very much, JC.
Oh, and as it happens, I can't even afford to make anymore CVs. So this place that's meant to be helping find work, is actually hindering that process.
As I'll explain to them later; I can't afford paper or ink for my printer. And as I soon won't be able to afford my internet bill; I won't be able to apply anywhere online either.
That leaves me with having to rely on shops having application forms. And I'm willing to bet that if I went through all my job hunting sheets since I first came here in September, I'd find 5 places maximum that actually provided application forms.
