    Thanks Pete.

    Well I've just cancelled my claim. It got rather daunting for the small amount I mentioned earlier.

    I was due an interview this Thursday but I'm sure they'll know I've decided not to go ahead with it.

    Btw, if someone's offered an interview or job, will the Job Centre be notified?
    My understanding is as part of the commitment you report jobs applied for, interviews ect.  I dont think there a mechanism for an employer to notify DWP.  I could be wrong though.

    The jobcentre won't be notified.

    Did you go to your account and complete a request to close your claim?

    If so, they should action this soon.
