Job Centre wasting time

SamD1985

Hi,

I have been going to Job Centre meetings for the past couple of months. Every time I show up, they promise to set up a meeting with a disability advisor and the work coaches are confused why I am showing up in person when I shouldn’t. Last time, yet another work coach I saw promised to set up a meeting with an advisor but yet a week later with no updates, I am still being invited in person with no advisor meeting and adjustments in place.

what can I do to end this cycle of broken promises?

thanks.

Try leaving a note on your journal explaining your frustrations first to see what can be put in place, if you feel you are getting ignored you can put a complaint in:

That sounds really frustrating @SamD1985!

Do you feel comfortable leaving a note on your journal?

Thank you for your response. I have left 5 notes since that appointment and also called the helpline where I was told a form would be sent but silence prevails.

Have you reported a medical condition through your account and provided a fit note

This will start the work capability process off

Your work coach can switch off any meetings bur they don't always

Once you have been assessed which takes months if found not fit for work eg lcw you won't need to attend meetings if found lcwra there is additional payment of £354 per month on your uc

I have done all you mentioned which makes this even more baffling.

Have you been referred for a work capability assessment? Once this is done you'll receive a letter on your journal and then a few days later you will receive the UC50 form to fill in and return with all your supporting evidence.
