Does anyone know if signing of the action plan is mandatory? I've read a FOI request online that says it isn't, yet my contact at the WP says it is and I must sign it.

Also, the things that we went through in the initial interview have been changed by them (only slightly but enough to make me look like a liar if I sign it). Apparently it's mandatory that I sign that too...I can't put my signature to things I haven't said.

the 'home work' you are set you mean?

You have to sign it to agree to do it

The consent form however is different

~Thingamajig~

By the consent form do you mean the data protection waiver?

No they said I finish on the 19th but lets say it again

The WP last for as long as the DWP.JC says so, NOT THE WP!!

which is 2 years from the referal date. what did you initially say related to this? it was something like i've got a letter from the jobcentre saying its finished so i must be finished.

Completely wrong. The DWP regs state that the Work Programme lasts 104 weeks from the date of referral from the Jobcentre. It's that simple.

yes i know. i didnt say that wasnt the case.

yes as its two years from the referral date

A bit like pulling teeth here

But as I KEEP SAYING

ITS ONLY A LETTER FROM THE JC/DWP that tells you , you have finished NOT THE WP PROVIDER!!

That's what I have been saying :rotfl:

no you havent. you have been saying that because you got a letter from the jobcentre saying it has finished that it must be finished. everyone gets these letters early. so recieving one does not mean you're finished. asking either your provider or the jobcentre for confirmation of the finish date is what confirms when it is finished, nothing else. the date you are told will obviously be 2 years after referal.

Early? the apt is on the 17th and my referral was on the 19th so hey I guess they think between the 17th and 19th I wont be going to the WP again!

I know when the date of my referral was , I am not an idiot

and I STILL have the letter given to me TWO YEARS AGO THAT SAYS

THE WP ENDS WHEN THE DWP TELL YOU IT IS COMPLETED

DO YOU?

The WP do not tell you that it has ended at all the DWP does

THE END

so when i got my letter on 1st july i should have thought the same as you that i am finished(even though i wasnt).
yes it is like pulling teeth the next time i see that you could be slipping up i will just keep quiet and let you slip up.

so you know when you were refered. you can work out what date is 2 years from that date and yet you got a letter before that date and said i must be finished.
