yes i understand that but am questioning how often people have to go to wp office as seems to vary so much on here? ie once every two weeks or every month etc

yes it can vary and i'm afraid you will only know how often you have to go there once you have started. the liklihood is it would vary for you during your time with them. one thing for sure it will annoy them that they cant threaten you with loss of benefits.

The JC wont be able to tell you that all.

It will depend on what your provider for the WP says to you.

You then can sign off after but as soon as you resign again you go back on it

they are always talking about sanctions at mine. they say things like if you didnt do this we would have to sanction you and we dont want to sanction people but we have to. even the appointment slips have threats on them. it says on them you must be available at all times at the phone number provided. it also says failure to attend an appointment can result in loss of benefits.

think ill just sign off tomorrow anyway then , and if in the future i need to sign on again it will be either the jcentre or the wp when they force the issue when universal credits comes in, if i have not found anything in the mean time. but hopefully it wont come to that.
