  1. Hello everyone I am hoping someone will be able to answer my question regarding my mortgage payments while I am on JSA. Here is my dilemma. I was made redundant last year after 22 years as a civil servant. I received JSA contribution based for the maximum six months and have since been receiving JSA income based. I recently started to receive payments of my mortgage interest from the DWP. I have been offer a job - albeit a part time temporary job which will finish in January. My dilemma is will I have to wait nine months again before I can receive my mortgage interest payments again or is there a linking period between my two claims as I will have only been employed for around 4 months. I am reluctant to take a part time job if it means losing my interest payments and will have to wait nine months again when I reclaim in the new year. I am desperate to work and would love a full time job but this is the only job I have been offered. I really don't know what to do and the DWP have been really unhelpful. They won't give me information without having my name and national insurance number and I don't want to give it if I decide not to take the temporary part time job and they say I've not been actively seeking employment. Please help me. Thanks Flippy
  2. Hello everyone, please forgive me if this question has been asked and answered before but I am really very distressed and don't know what to do. I was asked last month to complete a form about my illness to continue claiming Incapacity benefit. I have suffered from depression for a number of years and find functioning on a daily basis very very difficult. i don't go out and i am gripped with fear with the thought of answering or using the phone or seeing anyone. I also suffer from asthma and arthritis in my feet plus other ailments which inhibit my functioning and movement..if I was a horse I'd have been put down a long long time ago! Anyway, today I received a letter telling me to go for a medical. This is my first medical since I had one 5 or 6 years ago and I am terrified. I don't understand how they have asked me to go for a medical as my circumstances haven't changed and if anything the aches and pains I feel have become worse. I rang them and told me to come on the 21st December but I don't knoiw if i can really face going. What should I do? What happens if I fail this medical will i be told to go and sign on? Please please help me.I havent told my family that I have to go I am too ashamed. Thank you for reading this and i hope that someone will be able to advice me on the right course of action to take. Thanks again Flippy
