I dont need an economics A level to see how much time is spent on here when should be spent out looking for work
My 'adviser' there couldn't even be bothered to use the phones to ask his colleague a basic question after he virtually accused me of lying so it's stuff like that an many other reasons why people can ask stuff on sites like this

ie a letter with the dates of the appointments that I attended and the WP telling the DWP I didn't attend!

They then told the DWP I had appointments on OTHER DATES and then when challenged and shown the letter THEY GAVE ME they said oops sorry we made a mistake!We’ve had to remove your signature.
