a friend of mine lost his job a few weeks ago and he is on jsa or jsb i am not sure . he worked in his last job for about 7 or 8 months and he was let go as there was not enough business for to justify keeping him and another person. his wife has a decent job so i dont know what he is on jsa or jsb. he gets his money from his local post office on wednesdays and last week he had a flue like cold/illness and he went to the post office to collect. i asked why he didn't give it a miss and collect two weeks when he was feeling better and he told me he would need a doctors cert for to receive payment. surely he would not have to pay a doctor 55 to 60 ruro to collect 175 or whatever he gets , is there no allowance in cases like that. hopefully someone can answer ,thanks.
