Hi,

It's a work focused interview and is a standard interview that everyone who claims Income support has to attend. Just because it's a WFI it doesn't mean they will force you into work. These interviews have been in place for many years but only happen every 6-12 months. You do have to attend and there's no other option. If you don't attend you will be sanctioned and they will decrease your money. You won't be there long and once it's done you won't have to attend that's that, until your next one.
