I'll bet others will claim it if they need to/are able to. Of course, no-one is going to actually admit it on the forum because that would look 'uncool'. But then no-one will find out what you do in real life so its the safety of an internet forum.
Perhaps I'm just too honest....
Sure, maybe there could be one or two others, however certainly not the norm. I'll go further and suggest your most vehement JSA critics, on here, never have and never will claim it.
From a legal perspective, the way you handled your affairs, during that time, is questionable yet you won't let it lie. Your sig was proof of that.

OK. I will admit that I find it strange that I'm not allowed to have an opinion on it
You are allowed to have an opinion on it. But you've been singled out as the only person in the history of the forum who's ever been told to stop expressing a specific opinion in the professional forums. Except for...
Problem is no-one else on the forum will admit that its perfectly legal thing to do- thats all I ask.
If that's all that's required, then yes - it's perfectly legal. NLUK thinks so too. I disagree with him that it's a last resort - as I have most definitely said before, I don't see anything wrong with it. Happy now?

No its not. How many times? I went over this with a senior person at the jobcentre at the time. I had an off the record conversation also.
Nothing I did either before, or during claiming was disallowed or even frowned upon. In fact, at the time, they were more than happy to process my claim because they knew I'd be very little trouble to them.
Like I always say, dont claim if you dont want to. No odds to me at all. Just dont shout down people who want to claim.
At least on this board, we've never been bothered about decisions being questioned.

I can go to bed tonight happy....
So does this mean that any newbies that come on here and ask about it will be given an honest answer and not the "skewed by personal opinion" answer?
I think its the general negative attitude towards benefits and the people that claim them, that keeps bubbling up. Plenty of Daily Mail types around this place
Access to any benefit is going to depend on your personal situation. I don't think blanket saying everyone could claim is going to be true is it ? Likewise say no one can is clearly bollocks as well ?
