Some of you may remember my last post when I explained about my licence application being rejected due to me having diabetes and unfortunately I went over the 21 days time to appeal. Well since then I have decided to give up fighting the 21 days limit law and just re-do the medical, one problem, it costs £75 to get done at the doctors and about £35 for the councils medical chap to review it, not a great deal of money I know but when you're on jobseekers and struggling to find a job this money seems like quite a lot and is not something I can just afford to splash out in one go.

So, I decided to contact the jobcentre and appy for a budgeting loan, no luck there as I got one a while back to help cover some bills and some other important things, I need to pay that back before I can take out another one which will take about 4 months. I then enquired about a crisis loan, nope, because this isn't classed as a crisis and they wouldn't give me much anyway. My last option would be to put some money by here and there and save up the £105, but again that will take a while.

Overall I cannot believe the council/government are always so eager and desperate to get people back to work, yet clearly they have absolutely no interest in helping people back to work what so ever. It is disgusting to think foreigners come into this country and get everything done for them, a British person gets treated like a nobody. WHY?!?!?


Fight it mate there's plenty of bus drivers and lorry drivers who have type 1 and type 2 and carry on with there work, we've got a few type 1 drivers who have no trouble at all getting their badges each year.

Finally I might be getting some where, i won't hold my breath but I went to the Jobcentre (For the 4th time about this situation) and the bloke said I should be able to get some sort of ADF payment (whatever that is) to cover the expenses.

This shows how uselss some of the people are in the Jobcentre, I've seen 3-4 people about this and it took the 4th person to tell me this important information.

The people at the Jobcentre really do need proper training because clearly they are not getting it, ok so it's not their fault its the governments but what a complete shambles, how are people going to get help getting jobs when the people who work there don't even know half the bloody services?!?!
