Is the signing date of the initial JSAg the new official DWP start date of JSA payment ?
Dear Department for Work and Pensions,
Can you please provide documentation that confirms or contradicts that the start date of the initial JSA payment can only proceed from the date of the initial adviser meeting and the claimants first signing of a Jobseekers Agreement, opposed to the initial date of the JSA IAD online application when the claimant has fulfilled their obligations under the Jobseekers Act 1995 before their first signing of a JSAg.
In Summary
Is the initial signing of a JSAg the new official DWP start date of a JSA payment, please show in legislation when this process became the Norm or is the part of a departmental cost cutting exercise.
Yours faithfully,
Jack Silverside
