    You can telephone to close your claim. There should be a number on your agreement form.
    all i did was not turned up, it's not like they going to give a medel for finding a job even though some advisors goal for the day is to annoy you

    Stop signing on, your claim will quickly close at their convenience from this point.

    If you are not available for work at 9am have you told the jobcentre? If you get a job that starts at 8.45 how will you cover the school run?

    These appointments are given at the jobcentre's convenience not the claimants, they might have moved it but expect questions on whether you are available for work and therefore entitled to JSA.
    Edited to add

    If you are closing the claim do you have to go in or would a call or letter suffice?


    That's helpful - claim is being closed anyway. So maybe OP has now got a job.
    And there is a BIG difference between not being able to make a one-off 9am appointment than being working at 9am when childcare might have been arranged.

    At 6 the child is too young to be 'dropped off' and 'left to play' and is the OPs responsibility.

    Mind you OP having just read your last post I rather wish I hadn't leapt to your defence. That was ONE POSTER who was 'less than supportive'; not the WHOLE FORUM.

    Im closing my claim as i am starting work at 9.30 do you think i would take a job on that starts before school when i dont have any one else to take her. Omg this forum is pathetic. It doesnt matter what someone asks you always have to attack and critisize. !!!! off the lot of u ! And i really dont give a !!!! if you report me i want to get thrown off as i cant delete my account any other way. Hahaha

    just use the same attitude with job centre, sure they'll be pleased you've got a job.

    You were offered some suggestions, which, obviously didn't suit you.

    You sound like a loving caring mother.

    I have reported your earlier post - there was (and is) no need to go off on one.

    The pathetic one was you, trying to use foul language. You are a mother of a 6 year old girl. Not an irresponsible teenager. But you lose your temper and swear all you like. I don't care what you think of me. At all.
