Partner claims ESA, I work, I have to attent "Work Focused Interview"???

nsysum

My partner has been claiming ESA since April as he has ME and is unable to work. This morning we recieved a letter asking me to attend a "Work Focused Interview"?!! However, I work, 16 hours a week! I cannot work any more than that as I am pregnant with number 2 and also have SPD so cannot phsically do any more hours.
I have phoned DWP and explained this however the person I spoke to didn't seem to know an awful lot! All he said id that he would phone me back either tomorrow or Monday ...
This has annoyed me, they want me to take time out of work to attend a 'Work Focused Interview'??? Seriously???

Does anyone here know why I have been asked to attened this considering I already work??

I'm not sure but my hubby also recieves ESA and for the first year of his claim I only worked 17 hours a week and didn't have to attend any WFI or other meetings for that matter, this was before his DLA award too.

He is though in the support group so I'm not sure if that makes a difference. I'm now his carer so hopefully I don't have to worry about WFIs now.

OP does your hubby get DLA Care ( at middle or higher rate) as you may get carer's allowance if you earn a low wage?
