Sons UC claim Update

peteuk

So we had a meeting with a work coach and office manager today. 

However on the way we found out the his MR was successful and so he will recieve the full amount of his UC, with what was sanctioned being put into his account tomorrow. 

His next appointment is next week with a new youth work coach who will look at his abiliites and tapper his work search toward this.  It is also via video.

They will also review his commitment.  What has helped is that he has independantly noted jobs hes searched and applied for, so the office manager was able to see this. 

The reason for the gaps in meetings (56 and 37 days) was due to short staff, he should be on fortnightly meetings and will be going forward but as I pointed out he misses one meeting and you sanction him, but you can leave him nearly two months without a meeting with no comeback and an apology, months down the line and only after a questioned his work coach. 

We are where we are and thank you to the support from the people on this board we will move forward and get him the support he needs to get back into work.  I get the feeling that the work coaches just assume you know alot about UC and therefore dont have to explain much (equally for fear of getting it wrong and it coming back on them) 

THANK YOU!
