What makes me laugh is their insistence that, if you're living with a partner, the partner is obliged to support you! I think the whole system is ridiculous. If you do manage to qualify for JSA, which provides a weekly amount that has been acknowledged to be below the amount that a person can actually live on, you have to be actively seeking work. You have to show them that you've applied for two jobs/week. The whole set up is degrading, and is intended to be! You get treated like a piece of crap. I've never been on it, but have had friends who have actually cried when they've come out of the Jobcentre!
