Morning I'm Tracey I have just become a full time carer for an elderly lady I have known for years.
I'm a bit concerned by the job centre I feel they are trying to force me to attend appointments ,I have to travel a lot for the lady I care for and I look after her 42 hrs plus a week ,why do the job centre need to see me ?
