    Hi there 

    I jyst think this is a case of your work coach trying to organise their appointments 

    Not really fair to dis credit dwp 

    I know they are not always the best but everywhere is suffering due to staffing issues , backlogs and huge amounts of new claims from those affected by job losses

    The problem with DWP is they don't normally act in the best interest of claimants. DWP is mainly use as a political football and designed to save money, and punish the vulnerable people.
    Speaking as someone and many many others  that have suffered injustice, I can confirm DWP deserves all the sticks it gets.
