Could i ask some advice from anyone in the know ?
I'm on JSA and going to Ingeus the work programme, i'm having a hard time with them at the moment and went to my Gp who gave me a note for a month. Took it into my local JC and so don't need to 'sign' But Ingeuus have phoned, twice now and also written saying doesn't matter you're signed off you have to do what we tell you, turn up for this new appointment we're giving you or risk getting sanctioned.
Over the last couple of weeks i've asked this same question on another forum i use and most answers have been they're not allowed to insist you go in while there's a valid doctors note. They must follow the lead of the JC. Yesterday i went to our local Welfare Rights Office just to settle my mind, lady there says, it doesn't seem right, but Yes they can make you go.
It's bl00dy Ingeus that's making me feel sick !! That's why i went to see my doctor in the first place.
