Hi,

my friend has recently uploaded a fit note on her universal credit account because they have had to stop caring for a family member due to ill health.

once they uploaded the fit note they received a message from universal credit saying they need to go into the job centre for a meeting.

is this normal and why would they ask for this? They have asked them to go into the job centre even though they are suffering from severe anxiety.

thanks.

    Yes it's normal because they are no longer a carer they will be treated as a job seeker until a decision is made on their WCA. They can ask for a telephone appointment if they are unable to attend in person because of their health conditions.
