Hi,
I'm refering to your letter, from 5/9, which I received today.
The work I did, (on the mentioned forms), was only a few hours.
When I went to sign on, at the Jobcentre, four weeks ago, on Thursday.
I wasn't allowed to sign on.
But I had to have a 'funny un-scheduled meeting', (I'd call it), first.
Which I didn't get to prepare for, at home.
In this meeting I informed that on my two, small businesses, I worked _less_ than 16 hours a week.
(Since this was some kind of limit, I was told).
I also informed that my businesses ran in minus.
And that I didn't earn any money on them yet.
You say a letter was generated on 28/8.
I got a letter on Friday, last week.
That's 7/9.
How can the letter use this long time?
And how the sanction started on 17/8.
How can you send a letter about that, on 28/8?
That's something to complain about I think.
Because in the meeting I was told I would sign as usual, untill I heard from you.
But this hasn't happened.
I signed on, on Thursday, two weeks ago, on Thursday.
But I didn't get any money on Tuesday, last week.
So I had a protest, on Thursday last week.
And got the generated, (and very slow), letter, on Friday, last week.
How can you inform about a desition almost a month after the desition is made?
It should be the other way around, I think.
Inform about the desition in advance.
This is a business, that I've had for two years now.
And the Jobcentre have previously called it a 'hobby'.
Now I have no money.
I'm going to read the form, and try to understand how to get money.
Should I apply for Income Benefit, since I have no income yet, from these two, small businesses.
Maybe next year, or something, I can get some income from them.
Thanks in advance for a reply regarding this.
I'll also try to get the form sent back later today.
Best regards,
Erik Ribsskog

benefits.service@liverpooldirectlimited.co.ukHi,
today I got a new letter from you, (which I attach).
You tell me to post some forms for you, but no forms were enclosed.
I don't have money for printer-ink or postage since I didn't get the payment on Tuesday, (which I signed for last week).
Can I go to the Jobcentre in Edge Lane, (where I used to go when I lived in Fairfield, earlier this year), and fill out the forms?
You say I have to send the forms no later than five days after my sign-in-day.
But my sign-in-day was Thursday last week, and that's already more than five days ago, today, and I got your letter today.
I also think it's like the Jobcentre have tried to trigger a reaction from me, (like I write in my e-mail yesterday), since you just stop sending my Jobseekers Allowance from 17/8.
You should have told me this well in advance of 17/8 then.
But you tell me this on 7/8.
I would please like to you to have a look at that fact, in case you forget it in all the other information here.
Because if you inform about decitions almost a month later, then people are going to be misarable, and desperate, because they aren't going to understand anything, and they are going to be hungry, and worry about how to pay their bills, to get money for food, etc.
And they are going to feel humiliated.
I don't it should be necessary to explain this.
Because it's well known that people need food, etc.
So I wanted to please complain about this again.
So if you could send me the missing payment as soon as possible please, and also the relevant forms, (which I didn't get with your letter today), then I'll buy stamps, and send the forms back as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance for any help with this!
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,
I'm refering to your letter of 3/9 which I got in the post today.
First I want to complain that I've gotten a lot of grey hairs due to your lack of communication, the last couple of days.
I signed for a payment on Thursday last week, at the Jobcentre in Aintree.
So I should have gotten that payment on Tuesday, but I didn't get it, so now I have no money.
My agreement with the Jobcentre in Aintree was that I would hear from Birkenhead and then we would take it from there.
But you have broken that agreement.
Because I was going to sign on as usual, in the mean-time.
But you messed with a payment in the meantime.
So that means you have broken an agreement and been doing fraud, (I think I have to say), and made me not get food, and made me get a lot of new grey hair, and you also made me have a protest due to the missing payment/fraud, yesterday.
You don't seem to take people serious.
It's really no change in my income.
I don't get any income from my two small businesses, since they don't earn money yet.
So this is really just dumb.
I've been told at the Jobcentre in Williamsson Sq., a couple of years ago, that there is no limit on how long I can claim Jobseekers Allowance.
I asked about this since I was curious due to the Finance Crises.
But now you write about the tax-years 2006 and 2007.
I worked at Arvarto, (first for Randstand and then for Arvato), from 2005 to 2006.
And then as self-employed untill 2008.
So I have been working for many years in the UK.
So I have the right to Jobseekers Allowance like I'm from the EU, I've been told by EFTA.
What I am supposed to do now?
Your missing payment have left me with no money, and I have no income from my two businesses.
You punish me for showing initiative, and try to start businesses, I think.
My food and electricity is soon running out.
What am I supposed to do?
How can you make mistakes like this?
Erik Ribsskog
