    Well i rang the DWP earlier asking if there's a future review date on there and all she said was that i've been given a 3 year prognosis. The only thing i'm now worried about is when i've been talking to her she's probably thinking "hang on he's not as mentally unwell as he reports - he can use a telephone can't he". I did also ask if i have to continue going to Work Program interviews and she said it was up to me but not now mandatory.....since i said i might continue she's possibly thinking "hmm nothing wrong with this fella". Prob just me being paranoid.

    The people who answer the phones at DWP call centres have nothing to do with the Decision Makers. Your call will not cause any problems.
  • Thanks HB58. Nearly didn't ring up as knew I'd panic about it afterwards. She seemed nice & helpful & offered me advice regarding the Work Programme. I'll prob worry for a few weeks then I'll be ok.
