No I didn't but I just have now, bringing up the disability act and that my GP can provide that attending in person is a problem

see how they respond

They must state a reason for the face-to-face appointment. You have to get that reason listed in your journal.

Make sure you have accepted all commitments on your UC account; they're not always in the to-do or journal. They can also appear in your work-related commitments section. Just check those sections also.

Prepare to meet your work coach

Based on what you told us in your claim, you will need to search for work or ways of earning more than you're currently paid.

To help you do this, we provide a work coach who you will meet the first time you visit a job centre.

Before you meet them, we need to know more about your situation, so it's important you answer all the questions in the sections that follow.

they're now offering a video link, also asking photo ID which I don't have

feels more trouble than going in person

So it's your ID that isn't completed online.

You can tell them that you don't currently have anything but can apply for voting ID

Find everything you process on that list.

How long was your medical certificate for?

So according to that you Spoke with them last Thursday via telephone to confirm your ID but have no photo ID so they're requesting you attend.
