Can my JSA be stopped if I turn down a job because I cant afford travel costs?

[Blip]

Hello all. I am claiming JSA and my advisor says I must look for a job up to hours travel away. This is all very well but when I asked how I was supposed to afford travel costs to work until I got my first wage, I was told to ask for a wage advance. I have no objection in applying for jobs two hours travel away but if I get offered a job and cant afford to get there, I will have to turn it down. There used to be back to work benefits to help with the period from leaving benefits to getting a first wage, so the problem was recognised by the government, but they were scrapped a few years back. Can my JSA be stopped if I turn down a job because I cant afford travel costs? Thank you

After a bit more digging I found out that the two hours travel does not specify the mode of travel. I dont have a car, cant afford public transport, so my mode of travel is to walk. This now changes things as I only have to look for work within 2 hours walking distance of my home.
