ESA Medical Assessment

I'll have to do some more checking to see if its worth all the hassle to get ESA instead of JSA.
Another thing, I have always signed on every two weeks but last week i saw an advisor i've never seen before and she informed me i now have to sign ob every week. i have no idea why; my grandson who is 21 signs on every two weeks still,so i dont get it.Any ideas? Should im request an official reason why?

In my last post,two months ago,i said that i had been transferred to weekly sign ons.However,the first week this was meant to happen,i got a phone call the day before to say that,as the Jobcentre staff were on strike that particular Thursday,i was to sign on the next Thursday as usual. When i did sign on,the Advisor said that i would be signing on the following week and every week afterwards.When i queried this and why i'd been changed to weekly,she looked at the screen for a few seconds then said, "Okay,we'll leave to fortnightly signings for now"! It just goes to show two things; 1) it is worth querying their decisions,as long as your polite of course & 2) these are clearly Advisory based decisions,and not "Orders from above" decisions. Its an interesting point. Also,Today when i signed on,I Was told (By another new Advisor-this is now my 7th!!) that as i'd been on JSA for 12 months i'm now to be put on a Work Programme.He Even showed me how my screen had been changed to "WP Participant". This would be Overseen by The Newcastle College Group. I spoke to a lady from the college group who told me that the Local Salvation Army would be where i was attending. She also said that i had to do 104 weeks on the course,and that even if i got a job they would check on me regularly upto the end of the 104 weeks.Can they do that? Dont i have any rights at all?? I mean,if i'm in work i'm no longer anything to do with them.I mean,there's nothing they could do to me,is there?

I believe that the obligation to complete the Work Program also continues into any new claim if the full time was not completed initially.

Thank you Gordon (And Mrs Hurtyback!).The Lady from The Newcastle College Group that i spoke to,definitely told me that if i get a job before the 104 weeks are up,they will still continue to check on me,which will include them calling me on my Mobile,and i was given the impression that this would continue right up till the 104 weeks end.I think its just weird,thars all
