Hi i need advice please !! I was claiming JSA as a couple and have been attending regular meetings at a work programe place. The other day my adviser said i would be better off if i went self employed as an Avon rep working 24 hours a week. She signed me off and i went away thinking great!! Today i have been for a meeting with my Avon rep and she doesnt think i can work for 24 hours as a rep.
I would like advise on what to do next and why you think my adviser has done this to me ???
