Hello, I'm interested, where does the law state that I should go to the job center every two weeks with my long-term sick leave?

    If it's Universal Credit you're claiming then you're classed as a job seeker until a decision on a work capability assessment says otherwise. A fit note isn't proof you have limited capability for work.
    It will be a work coaches discretion whether they turn off or reduce work commiments, so do and others don't.
    Have you reported your health condition?

    Welcome to the community @khatuna :) 

    I'd also be interested in hearing about which benefits you claim, and whether you've had a work capability assessment yet.
