No Work Coach phone call was created by jojo0209
Hello

I’m fairly new to ESA, haven’t had my assessment yet. I was due my third telephone appointment with a work coach at 10:35am today and so far, no call. I’ve heard stories of how benefits have been stopped if you haven’t attended your appointment, and I’m concerned it might go against me if, for instance, the work coach says he tried to call and I didn’t answer. I actually sat at the table with my notes for two hours before I gave up waiting for him, but I’ve still had my phone on me at all times. Should I do anything, or wait and see if he calls me next week? (He only deals with ESA stuff in a Wednesday.)

Thanks!

Hi jojo0209

I would write on your journal that you waited for the phone call but your workcoach did not phone or leave a message informing you they would not contact leaving you waiting.

Thank you - I haven’t been told about a journal, is that online somewhere?

Thanks again.

Hi jojo0209

The journal is where you can ask your workcoach questions online or if your workcoach has asked you to do something, you can post documents.

This appears to be an ESA claim so there will not be a journal.
