BUT ... would any of you be happy if you turned up for a private appointment, followed by a gym session & someone was waiting for you .... isn't that an invasion of privacy ... the appointment is not with the NHS ... so would they not need some form of court order to get this info???

But surely the point is that they HAVEN'T been doing this.

Actually I tend to agree with the OP ... if I have it right .... she is saying that someone is phoning the authorities to tell them that she has arrived or has an appointment at a certain time .. whether that is actually happening I have no idea ... and as to what her prove is ... again I have no clue ..

No, but there's no evidence to say they are there or if so, they're *sinister officials*, or if anyone's ringing them. The way the OP has presented the case just sounds like a paranoid fantasy to me. But apologies to her if I read it wrong.

Christiane is probably down at the DWP right now with a petrol bomb.

To me the OP is saying that this has been happening ... she says she has evidence .... I have NO idea whether she has any evidence, but taking her at face value, if she does have evidence, then like her I would not be happy ...

She appears to be saying that someone is filming / watching her while she is doing this session & that it is the place that is phoning / contacting these people to tell them where she is ... if that is true, then surely that is not right ... or do we live in a society where everyone spies on everyon else??

finally I say good bye to you lot! the clinice was an acupuncture clinic - the class following was chi-gong given to people attending the clinic and the officer in the bureau has no riight to ring the clinic to tell the authorities I am there!

By the way - I am not in receipt of any benefits yet - I was written off ill by my doctor for 3 months until I can be scanned by the hospital (in August), have tried for 2 weeks to get in touch with the DWP if the application has been approved (cannot get through); had to apply for emergency funds in the meantime and am really not amused by some of the uncanning and unfunny comments made.

what kind of people are you?

if the doctor was asked by the authorities to call them when you entered the clinic then i dont see an issue with that, arent the health professionals meant to communicate with the authorities

As she isn't claiming any benefits the 'authorities' wouldn't give two hoots what she was up to.

You cannot report someone for benefit fraud if they're not claiming benefits so why would the 'social security fraud squad' have any interest in OP?
