As I entered my third week of unemployment after being made redundant from my job as a caseworker and researcher for a former MP and after 2 visits to my local job centre I was defined as eligible for Job Seekers Allowance (JSA).
My only prior experience of the job centre came in the form of helping often desperate constituents challenge sanctions and/or make complaints about job centre staff.
