    yes like cancel and appointment that it took maybe 22 days to get? Then what? Be in pain and then cost the NHS more £££

    They would offer a change of appointment surely

    Depends on who gets to deal with your query....if its a jobsworth then you could be in trouble and if they refer it to a decision maker then a sanction is likely

    Because JCP staff have to effectively 'start again' with WP completers and this means referring them to all suitable provision including national careers service for careers advice, if applicable.
    Start again? The JC never started at all as far as I am concerned. All I did was sign on and that was it. No help at all.

    How could it be if I had an emergency apt and could not get another?

    As long as you could prove that then you should be ok...

    Maybe you need to ask your adviser for help, but be specific in what help you need....

    Of course as you have an appoint card for the dentist and they can contact them whilst I sit there to ask when the next apt would be if I cancelled the one I had.

    so after 2 years on the WP you have been out of work for near on 3 years so why now would anyone give careers advice now? Makes no sense at all but then are we surprised
    Because they are stupid & incompetent and have to do something with all these appointments creating activity as if they are doing something worthwhile.

    It's a chirade.

    Domestic emergencies are covered in JSA regulations, but it still may be referred by JC jobsworth covering their job & decided by decision maker.
