    Why are you preparing for your cousins interview and why are you desperatly trying to avoid it?

    Yes, that gets all one's suspicions aroused, doesn't it?

    The general answers have already been given to you, no-one can elaborate further, because they do not have access to your cousin's paperwork and each case will have differences in it.

    If you cannot make the interview you have to demonstrate "good cause" to have them defer it. How long they defer it depends on their caseload and the urgency of the interview, which again no-one can hazard a guess at. If your cousin fails to turn up, or cancels without "good cause" or continually cancels, they can sanction her benefits.

    How long the interview lasts again is case dependent. It could last anything from 5 minutes to 40 minutes or more.

    ahhh, let me classify...

    she also has a psychological condition which makes her not think as focused as most of us, this has affected her academic performance and gets anxious too. for this I help her to go through the notes and prepare her for these kinda of things, I am one of the biggest helps for her, so I am preparing for this for preparing for her, as I will go through with her what is expected, to help her.

    hence why I asked for a clue on what is expected to be asked...
