Some one not doing job right and it's giving us both sleepless night think I'll be having few words on phone Monday they even told me if not done in next 3 weeks all our payments be stopped

Is this a recent UC claim? Just curious, if you don't have internet access how are you posting here now?

I can only tell you the rules are they are in law and as a carer you should not be made to look for work or attend any further appointments after your first appointment.

As you have phone data are you able to access your journal from that? It's much easier to have access to a journal when claiming UC rather than having to keep ringing the helpline because most of the time they are far from helpful.

Spoke to UC turns out if your a carer with the allowance and on sick notes from GP you are required now to actively seek work new rules been implemented so guys and girls be warned you may get a letter  through post about capability to work as carer on allowance not acceptable now it means you are capable to work and you will he required to attend appointments etc was on phone to them today see why had form

Again, that is not correct at all. There’s no new rules. 

As I keep advising, as a carer claiming either carers allowance or carers element you should have no work requirements. Please see the link I posted above. 

Please remember that when ringing the helpline you are speaking to someone from a call centre who mostly have very limited knowledge of UC or any other benefits.
