Posted - 25 June 2009 : 20:56:37 Hi I was self employed & had my own business however i went BR in Nov 08 losing the business. I have been trying to seek work now since Jan 09 & struggling , i was in the motor trade & that is suffering in this present climate. I have applied for over 100 jobs in various different fields. We have been living off my wifes saving's for the past 6 months however that is now drying up, i have been to the jobcentre & they have informed me i am not entitled to any help because i was self employed for more than 6 months. I am not entitiled to any help from the goverment. Is anyone else in this same boat as it seems ridiculous?

Posted - 26 June 2009 : 14:10:06 The unemployment figures are like everything else this goverment produces utter trash, how many ex self employed people are sitting at home with no work & no financial support. Role on a general election & get these clowns out of power. However i am unsure who would be best to lead this country out of its mess because MP's are not in touch with the real world.

Hi, Same for me I was employed for many years with my own company and then went sch D (self emp) to reduce costs on the advice of an accountant only to find that I am now not eligable for any benifts. Amazing. The young lady I had an interview with in the job centre decsribed how the office was trashed recently when they told a group of builders they did not qualify. I spoke with them again the other day and they tell me they are turning away about 30% of claiments. This gov certainly changed the rules for their benifit.
