  1. I just found this forum after looking for some relief from the horrific 3 month review I had two weeks ago. I sat down expecting to be helped widen my search with new ideas and an urge towards applying for things outside digital design, like graphic design or even just plain office work. To my horror, the guy told me flat out that office work is out of the question and that I have to choose between the 3C's - Caring, Catering, or Cleaning and made me chose one. What!? I mean, I've had back problems my whole life and i've struggled and worked hard through university and job promotions so that I can work from a desk. This aside, their's no way I could afford to pay my medical expenses and bills working in one of those careers and I wouldn't be able to stick them anyway. I struggled to make rent, council tax etc on 20K and I know from my experience bar working that i end up swallowing hand fulls of ibuprofen and hating my life. I've been forced into a situation now that I look like they'll probably cut me off tomorrow (they're giving me 30 pound a week). What matters most is that we have high rent which they cover most of. I think i could get some freelance work but that means i'd lose all help (which took 3months to start). I'm stuck in a position where if i take on a weeks freelance work i could end up with no benefits and out of work again, waiting another 3 months to get any aid back again.
