Can work coaches bully you to attend job fairs and what are the rules on Lcw. My health getting worse due to work coach bullying me

What is expected if you will depend on your claimant commitments. It can include attending work focused interviews and other appointments such as training or employment programmes, which can include job fairs.

I don't think it's right that your work coach bullies you but it will depend on what you mean exactly by this.

Hi @azbegum255, welcome to the community. Sorry to hear you're struggling.

As Poppy mentioned above, there are usually certain commitments that you'll have to meet to receive your payments and this might include attending the job fairs. They should be able to adjust some of your commitments around your conditions, but sometimes misunderstandings can happen.

When you say your work coach is bullying you, how do they normally do this?

If you feel like your work coach is treating you unfairly, perhaps you could ask to speak to a manager at your job centre to see if they can advise you on what to do next.

I also had this experience and told the "coach" to pack it in, and reported her to the line manager and made a formal complaint to DWP. Ask to change coach immediately or you will make waves of your own if you feel up to that? They really dont give a stuff, and think their a law onto themselves until, someone takes real action against them.

I hope it's ok for me to post this link here as it's in many people's interest, those about to be affected by these lunatic plans:

Scrap Universal Credit, reinstate legacy benefits and scrap unfair sanctioning.

I totally agree. I wish the petition had more meat on it.
