Hi I feel I am being discriminated against. I recently applied for Universal Credit and I have provided a fit/sick note saying I can only do the hours i already work and no more. The job centre say I have to look for another twelve hours and do 23 hours of job searching. They have made me two appointments next week and I feel this is too much for my mental health. My sicknote is for mental health. I asked for a quiet room and this was ignored . They said if I dont agree to these work commitments I will not recieve any money so I had to agree. I feel like not going and explaining I feel unwell due to this heavy handed approach and if I am sanctioned so be it.

    hiya.

    I'm sorry to hear about this harsh bull in a china shop approach.

    my advice is ring tomorrow and demand to speak to a case manager (their superior) about the ignoring of your fit note and reasonable adjustment request.
