thanks for all your help

i will update date this post tomorrow when i know more

Hi s,

If you are in The WRAG, you cannot be compelled to actively seek or take up employment.

However, you can be compelled to take part in WFI's and WRA, under threat of sanction.

If you appeal to be placed into The SG, procedurally, you "should" not be sent forward to The Works Programme.

This is all explained in the links that I provided in my first reply.

Hi sorry to bother you again but just one more question on the esa faq it say if you get the Carer Premium you cannot be asked to take part in the work program?

does that mean the Carers Premium from dla or esa as i get middle rate Carers Premium in dla?

sorry i wont bother you again tonight thanks again

Hi s,

I gather that you mean that you receive the Middle Rate Care Component of DLA.

It is the person "Providing" the care that would be exempt from The WP, not the one in receipt of The DLA Care/Receiving the care.

So it is the "Carer" that would be exempt.

hi yes middle sorry forgot to put that. i didnt realise that.

i will be throwing a few ideas at them when i finaly have to go and one thing for sure they are not going to walk all over me because if they do i will lodge a complaint (which can be done) i have a friend that claims jsa and she has taught me alot about the process so i know the in`s and out`s and how to get round them in short make there life hard to put you in the work program or anything like it.

after the 6 WFI is that the last of the job centre or are there other things they are going to throw you on? im going to apeal as i thinks i would not be safe in a work inviroment.

thanks again bro will update this post as time progress`s
