  1. Thank you antone and thank you Mr P. You've both helped me stopped panicking quite as much, I really appreciate your help
  2. Oh and do I write to DWP in Preston as that's one I deal with or my local Jobcentre please? Thank you again for your help
  3. Thank you so much for your replies and help, I appreciate it. I just assumed because the DWP had adjusted my payments with a carers premium as I am now getting carers allowance the Jobcentre would know this? And because nothing has changed with A4E I assumed nothing would or could? I mentioned at my last appointment I am a carer for my Mum but didn't mention I was getting carers allowance. Should I mention it at my next appointment on Tuesday as I have been getting carers allowance for a few months now. Other than when I called the DWP ESA department to let them know so they could adjust my money I haven't told anyone else as assumed everyone to do with my benefits like Jobcentre and A4E would be informed?
  4. I am on ESA for anxiety (GAD), depression and ocd and last January won my appeal with the tribunal and was put into the WRAG group. I have been attending for the past year and not missed an appointment. Recently I have become my Mums full time carer and am in receipt of carers allowance and a carers premium on my ESA. I volunteer for a charity shop 2 afternoons a week on days when my sister is not in work so she can sit with my Mum, just something so I can have a break. I have recently got a new adviser at A4E and only met her once last month at my latest appointment. She booked me on a CV writing class which was last week. I called up to rearrange as from the Monday to the Friday I didn't leave the house once as Mum was poorly so I needed to be there. Today I got a letter to say she has rearranged the appointment for next Friday morning. I told her last appointment when I met her my old adviser never booked me appointments on Fridays as she knows it's the afternoon I work and apart from being incredibly anxious everytime I go to work I cannot get anyone to sit with my Mum Friday morning and she said she won't book me in on Fridays for anything. I am the only person who cares for Mum, my sister is the only other family we have and she works 4 jobs! When I have notice of usually a month we can juggle something but this time I can't as she is working till 12pm on the Friday and my appointment to do the CV class is 9.30am! I am going to worry myself sick now for the next week as I have my next wri on the 28th then the CV writing class 31st 9.30. So worried as no one to sit with my Mum but if I don't go to the CV class I will be sanctioned. Just feel under so much pressure when I am trying to do everything possible to every appointment. I am so closed to being £120 worse off by going on income support just to stop this added pressure even though I will be in massive debt if I did.
  5. All it means is you have to reapply but this time for the Income Based one. So get your claim in today as can take a while to go through
