No, its always been the same, with the old system too, and you can not make a claim unless you have a phone or computer, even if you walk into their offices asking for help.
It is sickening.
No honey! .... Us being constantly drained by those who do nothing to help themselves is sickening !
They ALL have smartphones .... EVERY library in the UK offers free computers
They are BONE IDLE
But I keep telling you... They have to have the phones to be able to sign on.
They cant claim otherwise. It is hardly helpful to people with no money, is it?
You cant even sit at a computer in a library all day.(if you have any left near you) There are huge queues and if you can get on a computer your time allowed is not enough to apply for all the jobs you are supposed to each day.
And they charge you to use them, so if somebody really is destitute, they are buggered.
I absolutely agree with you that there is a certain type who have no intention of working at all, and somehow end up having more money than those of us paying for them. It is barmy and needs sorting out, But there are many who are in desperate need through no fault of their own and it is very wrong to kick them when they are down.

Computer use - and membership - is free in libraries, and widely available.
Many are in great demand from foreign nationals communicating with home, on Skype.
I understand the online forms have a 'chat' option for advice.
Call centres/web sites for virtually everything are becoming the norm.
Video conferencing with your doctor - on routine ailments - are not far away.
