In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ
My full name is showing, how can I stop it?
Having completed a term on the Work Programme you cannot be sent to it again, so it will be down to your JC+ advisor to decide what actions might be appropriate, this could be your regularly attending Work Focussed Interviews at your JC+ or Work Related Activity which might include training, voluntary work and work placements.
What you are asked to do may depend on your conditions, for example if you were re-assessed during the two years you were on the WP then they may be less inclined to ask you to do anything than if this is pending as the advisor may take the view you are unlikely to be ready for work in the near term.

thankyou for reply, ive changed my profile, my last medical was 10 months ago, while in the wrag I have had two ops(on my hands), my condition will not improve with time, I have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. also in a few months time I will be having a double mastectomy, this is because three of my four sisters have had breast cancer in the last ten yrs. sorry if it seems like moaning but the time spent attending advanta was a complete waste. and I feel going to the jc will be more of the same. thanks for listening LH

The more recent the assessment the less likely that the JC+ advisor will require you to attend WFIs or to participate in WRA, you should also mention your upcoming treatment as well if necessary with associated recovery times.

been informed today that I need to apply to be placed in the support group and apply for pip... the lady at jc+ said the only thing that was on my record was that I suffered from pain, I was gobsmacked, I have had three medicals in the last two years and took documented evidence with me each time, the last time I went the medical person waved away my paperwork saying she had it all documented, then asked me what fibromalgia was, and how it felt, I replied that it is very painful, today I took your advice and took my friend with me, so much better and far less stressful, so now I will use the site to fill it the relevant forms correctly, thanks again LH
