    ive been there 1 year,what happens after 2 years,if still not working.

    Supposed to come off it - I reckon they'll try and force everyone onto Mandatory Work Activity after that (or directly into a Workhouse).

    I do not think anyone has thought about what will happen when we have been on it 2 years. That's a year away and I guess we will know then as I bet if you ask at the WP they have no idea.

    I guess we would be put on litter picking or wall painting detail, made to wear orange hi viz jackets and working alongside community payback people.

    I'm back there this afternoon, what a depressing thought that we all might still be on the WP in a years time :(

    I feel sick at the thought of having to go for just this next appointment _pale_

    I'll just play the "disabled card", well if the wp are keen to press it on me I might as well put it to use ;) :rotfl:

    (not really, there is no way I'm agreeing with them that I am disabled)

    Really? Does it say that online somewhere? What's the point in another 2 years if the first 2 were no good?
