Hi R,

See the information on the links below :

If you can't attend for any reason, you should phone up The JSP Adviser. They can defer WFI's, carry them out over the phone, or even in one's home.

If you feel that you qualify for the Support Group, have you thought about appealing the WRAG award ?

Please reply to this topic if you have any further queries.

Have you good reason not to attend ? I can only relate what happened to a friend I represent . He put an appeal in against being put in WRAG two months before the appointment to attend the WFI came from the JC. A letter was sent to the latter saying he was appealing and wouldn't be attending because of his severe mental disorder.
He then received a letter saying two officers were coming to his houseon such and such a date to make sure he understood the requirements expected of him .They never turned up and nothing happened for three weeks then came the sanction of £71 a week until he heard six weeks later that he had been put in the Support Group .
