This session was to get our feedback on the WP provider!They might not know, or don't want to tell you.
I suspect that what ever is in the report, we will all still be sent on a much harsher scheme.
I don't know about you but I look upon the Work Program as a rest!
Bad stuff is next.
They really don't know but you have just said its a programme that is 30 hours a week???!!!
That can not be possible as that dwp link you posted stated the WP gives advice to the JC as to what they think should be done with you next. I bet some of us capable people are just going to be left like I have been on the WPWe’ve had to remove your signature.

16 hours or more means you are off JSA.
And
Claims are linked, for six months, if you sign back on before six months, they link your claim to your old one, and any crap they had on you, like sanctions and courses will have to be served. with the work program it's two years, which is unusual. She knew I was coming to the end of the work programs two years.0 -
No it don't! 11.50 hours work at NMW does as its the same as my JSA so I'd sign off16 hours or more means you are off JSA.

No, Read it again.
I'm saying the entire thing is a load of crap.
When we have finished the work program, they will just send us on ANOTHER crap course.
What else would they do?0 -
