Have you been invited to attend an interview at a JobCentre?

If not, it's just a standard DWP letter.

The High Court ruled, last week, that DWP letters were unlawful, so they may be sending out corrected versions to all JSA claimants - or just those on the Work Programme or MWA.

Any person currently participating in any mandatory provision will,this next week or so, be sent a letter to enforce the mandatory elements and the possible sanctions that can be imposed if the job seeker fails to comply.

This is following on from the high court ruling, a paragraph has been now added to all new letters explaining clearly the possible sanctions. It doesn't mean you will be getting sanctioned.

ignore me- everyone getting it, apparantly, to 'clarify' what aanctions MAY happen, if you are a naughty boy..

It should make that clearer though..:mad:

I wouldn't worry about it, a lot of people on Work Program got these, it is just to warn you of possible sanctions should you fail to comply.

Oh, !!!!!!, lighten up! My son got one of these letters; we laughed. He knows he has met all the criteria (and actually just got a job). We certainly didn't take it that seriously. It does say at the bottom of the letter that it is for information only.

I think they are telling you that there are tougher sanctions from October 2012. I have looked on the internet and have found this so far:
