I am currently in wrag. My jobcentre advisor today told me I am being referred to the A4E work program. He told me because I had a prognosis of 24 months, I can't be forced to take part.
He says I have to attend an "information session" I then have to decide if I want to go with A4E or stay with jobcentre plus.
Does anyone know which is best? What are the pro's and con's?
I have no idea what would be the easier of the two.
Any advise please?
