Im so worried. basically i have been having prolems with my post and today i found i had 2 letters from the job centre regarding appoinments for pathways to work interview the first of the letters was dated 24/12/2010 for an interview on the 07/01/2011 and then another letter dated 10/01/2011 for an interview on the 25/01/2011.

Now what i wanted to know is because i have only recieved these today and my payday is tomorrow Tuesday 01st Feb. will they send me a third letter before they stop my benefits because im so worried ill go to my account tomorrow and it will be empty.

i would get straight onto the phone to the job center and explain the situation, they will be able to tell you if your money will be affected and make you another appointment. if it turns out that they wont be paying you then you could try to get a crisis loan.

oh no are you serious so should i expect to have no money in my account in the morning after 2 letters because the job centre is closing soon and they arnt picking the phone up.

i dont know. this is why im advising you to get intouch with them as soon a possible, they will be able to tell you if your money will be affected and if it is then you could get help in the form of a crisis loan. try not to panic love, this isnt your fault just explain the situation to them

no i didnt keep the envelopes they had no post mark on them from what i remember.

Well, get them out of the bin, as there should be a date on them.

just looked and there is no post mark or date on them they are pre paid envelopes from DWP is all i can see.

None of the letters I've ever received from DWP have had a date stamp on them.

Good luck with the phone call.
