WFI (work focused interview)

epitome

You could be right, I would have to check my stuff to see why I thought that. Which I can't at the moment.

Now that you come to mention it, I do remember something about "until they do attend aWFI"

Still, not a good idea not to cooperate.

atrixblue, you are going to get in a worse state worrying about this, so please ring them and ask to speak to your WFI advisor (mine has given me a card with his direct No. on to call), explain everything to him/her, I would imagine they will come to some arrangement over this to allay your fears. As I previously said mine was very caring and understanding, I am nowhere near as bad as you, but my advisor said I am not fit for work and noone would employ me anyway, so I am not being pressurised into attending anything else, I have only had 1 WFI interview and been told I don't have to attend anymore, but as I said I am going again at my free will. Please ring them to sort something out. Diane

If it helps, I went to a WFI last week. I was in there for 45 minutes, though that was just chatting, could of lasted 10 minutes easily. I'm on IS because I'm a carer, he went through some details and then took a look at my benefits and said "Oh, I suppose your not looking for work really because of you being a carer?" and I did say that I would like to work but until September I can't (hoping caring duties will not be as much as it is now) and he agreed, told me to come back in 6 months. We went through all the ways of me or partner working and if it would benefit us and he even said it won't!

You might have it as simple as that, in and out. You might want to call them or ask your partner to to advise on the anxiety and they might do it over the phone. They won't force you to work, they'll encourage, see if you can and then work out how it would be better for you financially.

ok they got some wires crossed somewhere, i was dragged in by the OH, got to the desk was my name down NO IT WASNT, people pushing past, and i felt my self slipping from reality and looking at the doors for the exit. the lady went off came back said no your in wednesday, my OH said no letter states today, so after tooing and froing, and asking me to wait another 30mins it was easy to tell i would be able to, so OH got a attendance reciept and off i went.
i didnt feel good and was physically sick getting back to the car.
and have to reattend no wednesday.

i did sleep all of 25mins last night, then the kids were awake for school etc.

ohwell, bottoms up to loss of nearly 48 just gone, and look forward to another couple sleepless nights.

I noticed you were on during the night and thought then you would be getting little sleep. Not good that wires were crossed and you have to go again, but, if I was you, I would RING them, advise of your anxiety and the issues you experienced today and ask them if it possibly could be done over the phone, there is a good possibility they may be able to do that for you and there are 48 hours here to arrange it .
