    Advisers are not allowed to work with anyone unless they are claiming. Your name's not down you cannot see anyone I'm afraid.

    I expect more of the smaller Job Centres to be closed and the buildings/land sold off. And have claimants travel further to larger Job Centres. Something that has been going on for some years. Already claimants are already required to travel up to two hours each way.to the Job Centre.
