hi , i have received for an interview in February at the job centre after completing to years on the work programme as part of ESA WRAG.
what am i to expect at this interview?
the work programme itself has not helped me really at all, and at some points, made my condition chronically worse, i was hoping to be out of the benefits system by now, but things just have not worked out that way, and my mental health does not seem to be getting much better.
is there anything i should say at the interview to my advantage, and what exactly happens as part of the WRAG group when its done at the job centre and not at an external place ?

It will really be down to your JC+ advisor.

As a starting point it is likely that you will need to explain your conditions again to your new advisor, they are unlikely to have access to this information from any previous contact.

Any activities that you are asked to do must take your limitations into account.

In general you will be asked to attend WFIs and probably some form of Work Related Activity which may include training and some form of job placement, you need to be aware that some of this activity may be classed as mandatory and your benefit can be sanctioned if you do not participate. Mandatory activities must be communicated to you in writing and it must be clear that the activity is mandatory.
