You shouldn't need to attend the Job Centre, due to being a carer you should have no work commitments.

If you are classed as a Carer then you shouldn't have any work commitments.

No work commitments = you don't have to attend the Jobcentre for work focused interviews.

Work coaches often give out incorrect information because they don't know the ins and outs of the system.

I love your posts. Thank you. For those of us who have severe anxiety/depression issues, your reassuring posts really do make a difference. I have even screen shot your responses and am going to save them to remind me when I start panicking again.

Hi

I am just thinking is there is two different between work focus interview and work related interview because the work coach said i wont need to do work related activity but will require for work focus interview ?

ased444 · February 25

Hello i did not get answer from kimmy87 or any other person about my previous question. The link that kimmy87 gave that is i think is for work related activity and i think that does not still removes work focus interview.Thanks

I had a letter through the post and a form to fill in asking me a load of questions to see if I still warrant pip. This was middle of last year, I guess this was my pip review 🤔

Mijuka · February 26

there is a lot of talking about that people with anxiety, CRPS should not be awarded PIP.

fingers crossed it takes some time to that to a common practice.

There are a few situations where a second property would be disregarded. Unless your friends situation fits into one of those (not receiving rent isn't one of them) he won't be entitled to UC due to the second property.

Hello kimmy87

I am not understanding what you said about second property are you saying that to get universal credit second property will be disregarded if there is no rented property? I searched in benefit calculater if i put second property then its says he wont be getting universal credit ?

Kimmy87 · March 5

If someone has a second property there are a few situations where it is disregarded when calculating capital for UC (a second property is classed as capital).

https://england.shelter.org.uk/professional_resources/legal/benefits/universal_credit/universal_credit_capital_rules#disregarded-capital

Otherwise it is not disregarded and means no entitlement to UC.

Whether there is a rental income from the property is irrelevant.
