I need a bit of help

A while back I was doing supported permitted work (work which met required hours/pay conditions and I received a lot of supervision from a supported employment worker). My benefits weren't affected except IS which was reduced to £20 per week.

I have now left said work and I am unsure how to get my IS raised to its original amount (I also receive DLA so my IS has a "bonus" added). I no longer receive wages and I still get £40 per fortnight IS.

One person told me I need to fill in an A15 form whatever that is someone else said I just need my final pay slip. And who do I send this to the job centre or the DWP? :confused:

Thanks.

  • its jobcentre plus nowardays,
    just write a quick note to the address on your benefit letter and inform them of your change of circumstances (which you are obliged to do). Benefit letters often come with a change of circumstances form which you could use instaed. They will write with copies of the correct forms if they want them and request any evidence,

    I'd call the DWP helpline:
