    The above link is regarding the Work programe, and some of the rules about it being mandatory for those in WRAG and the exceptions to that rule for those who fit the criteria , below is the latest UJM Toolkit via a FOI request, and it still isn't mandatory to even use it, never mind creating an account on it and uploading a public CV Sure they DWP can in certain circumstances issue a Job seekers direction to mandate someone on JSA to complete one task per direction, I would politely tell them to take a long walk of a short pier when tide is at low water https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/261979/response/638772/attach/html/6/Ch%2003%20Using%20Universal%20Jobmatch%20v56.0%2026.02.15.pdf.html

    Below seems to be the most recent, https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/507282/wp-pg-chapter-2.pdf

    Using /registering or uploading a public CV to UJM is not mandatory even for those claiming JSA (unless it is part of your claimant commitment which you previously agreed to) how ever work coaches can issue a self-seekers direction to mandate you to register or use UVJ they can only mandate one activity ,and have to take in to account a number of factors before they issue a JS direction , I can't quite get my head around why they push this ujv on everyone,? apart from it making their job easier i don't see any other logic behind it The WP and WRAG claimants info on this seems to be somewhat sparse, i would like to know how they can deem it reasonable for people with physical conditions that limit their mobility to travel and attend to take part several days each week over a two year period, then there is also the question of what they are able to do without being in pain ect whilst there,

    Been thinking about this for some time ,as there doesn't seem to be any concise information readily available regarding the rules /regulations of JSA, ie what is mandatory and what isn't From the claimant commitment to electronic signing there are a number of things that many JCP work coaches will attempt to foister upon those who are not aware of what they can and can't be mandated to do, this info being in one place it think would be very valuable especially to those who were found fit for work after attending the Maximus WCA (F2F farce) as well as those who have never claimed JSA previously Would it be possible to do this and give it a sticky ?
  5. tommy456
    Well as experiences of Maximus will vary just as peoples health conditions do , My personal experience is they are no different than ATOS and i didn't for one minute think that they would be , it also would come as no great surprise to learn that some of the former Staff employed by ATOS are now doing the same thing for Maximus , Sometimes it's best for some to expect the worst case scenario 0 points scored that way you avoid the same level of disappointment The thought of claiming JSA whilst you await the MR decision can be quite daunting ,i'm currently in that cycle now myself, but if you know the rules surrounding stuff like UJ and what they can or can't mandate you do do , it can become more bearable
  6. tommy456
    If you have been sanctioned , you have 1 month to request a mandatory reconsideration ,submitting any additional evidence that supports your reasons for failing to attend, During a sanction period you can claim hardship payments from the DWP ,
  7. tommy456
    I'm not familiar with triage but are they Triage agency in Scotland? and you are in the work focussed' group Not sure how things vary between ESA WRAG Vs WFG I take it that attending this Triage outfit's offices is Mandatory ? Even if this is the case you should be allowed to be too sick to attend a few times in a 12mth period like if you claim JSA ?? If this withheld payment is a sanction , you should be able to ask for a decision maker to reconsider this decision (Mandatory Reconsideration), and possibly appeal to a tribunal if they don't agree to pay you,
  8. tommy456
    Probably down to something not adding up or being contradictory in the maximus report, they have probably been told to check them more thoroughly to reduce the number of MR's and tribunals
  9. tommy456
    I scored Zero at the F2F farce aka WCA and was awarded 6 points over the phone, though it should really been 15 based on what i told them ,
  10. tommy456
    Well going by what the GMC 's good practice they fail to Make the care of your patients your first concern. Just how do they get around this when doing ESA /PIP assessments oh we aren't patients , So they aren't a doctor then ? if so they shouldn't be able to use their experience ,and their report should count for nothing ,
  11. tommy456
    Yes any DR or nurse take this oath,http://patient.info/doctor/ideals-and-the-hippocratic-oath ATOS & co should be banned from wanting DR's Nurses to work in a way that goes against this oath
  12. tommy456
    Crapita, Atos are as bad as each other, One of those who were saying it was wrong of them, was wrong too, he referred to the claimants as patients , when the reality of these F2F farces PIP and ESA we are not treated or regarded as the patient , and they are not clinicians therefore are not observing the Hippocratic oath , but they still have a duty of care or should have,
  13. tommy456
    IMO i think the same as you, but was linking a couple of the most likely possibilities , they have a date of November 2015 so i'm not sure why the op linked to the main page that they are on
  14. tommy456
    I just tried to link a couple of those pdf's on the main page, but i am unable to see the link properly to each PDF, ESA and repeat claims https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/419103/adm11-15.pdf JSA & EPS https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/419100/adm10-15.pdf
  15. tommy456
    Yes As i have done exactly this ,I wonder how long before they attempt to change it? The older rules , you didn't have to wait 6 mths if you had a new condition , Further back still in the days of( IB ) incapacity benefit your rate would increase after iirc 6 months even if you had not had the F2F by then (no pre assessment rates then) the F2F dodgy medical wasn't (descriptors and criteria) wasn't as harsh back then either So most had a fair chance of getting 2yrs on IB Without having to appeal, If you returned to work prior to a determination you could reclaim (continue that claim) at any point if within 12mths So if you say had got awarded 2yrs off work at the F2F and any time before your next F2F you decided to try going back to work, and after a few days ,weeks or months found you could;t reliably do it, you could as far as i know re start the old claim Also if you failed at the F2F and you needed to make a new claim within iirc 3mths your benefit was paid at the same rate as it was previously higher rate after 6mths ect
  16. tommy456
    Yeah it may save having to have to go through the tribunal process yet again, and due to the cuts in funding there isn't likely going to be any representation by a CAB worker, Though they will still be able to provide a written representation
  17. tommy456
    In an ideal world yes, but in reality most will be required to endure the F2F farce, that's in part why they insist on keeping this floored method, to give as many zero point results as they can,(i bet they have a target set by ibs)
  18. tommy456
    They must know what is going on, but because it isn't entertaining or outrageous in their eyes it doesn't get exposure, as the saying goes why let the truth get in the way of a good story, about benefit cheats, or those featuring those who are admitted to drugs or are alcoholics, They wont show the truth , and even if they print it it will be a small space deep within the paper, not front page I had an update on the cuts to the CAB and things don't look good for the outreach services Tribunal representations past June 16 can't be guaranteed this is what that Goon Cameron and his cuts are causing how can this be in the interest of justice?
  19. tommy456
    They probably get a bonus if they meet the government targets, on getting a majority through the WCA process within the 13week time frame,And possibly another based on the number they find fit for work After a scrutinising the reports a bit more , It seems to be somewhat contradictory in some areas ,and i should of been awarded more points than i have been, as they can't accept evidence that would qualify someone points and then not give them , which is what appears to of happened , The CAB case worker has said although on paper i qualify for the support group in reality thinks i should qualify for the WRAG group,and have a fair chance at the MR stage of getting that,
  20. tommy456
    The cuts from this and the previous tory /coalition government have eaten away at CAB funding too, Infact my CAB adviser/case worker has been telling me that local government funding is uncertain for tribunal representation after the summer of this year in my area, This is due to this uncaring callous (other derogatory names are available ) Tory government and the buck stops with their biggest fool Cameron, because it is he who gives the orders I hate them all with a vengeance,time some one did something
  21. tommy456
    It would be interesting to know how many of those ESA claimants that are alleged to have closed their claims for ESA prior to their scheduled WCA (quite an alarming number) did they not attend due to the incompetence of ATOS /Maximus , why else would so many people give up before attending the WCA (F2F farce) and likely scoring Zero Points?
  22. tommy456
    http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Commons/2015-09-08/9593/ Gives some of the stats, there was some stats by area out there somewhere, My guess is that the tribunal hearings and associated extra work costs more than they will be saving , Then there's that even bigger waste of money UC
  23. tommy456
    Crying ??? him cry because he feels guilty , no those where the tears of joy or crocodile tears, like a spoilt brat who didn't get their own way, He may have left office, but he didn't give up his seat, and no doubt will be back
  24. tommy456
    iirc, i rang them on their normal number for esa, then sent a fit note as i was reporting a new condition they dealt with it in that way no extra hoops Just received the decision makers report ESA 65& Maximus ESA 85 and there are some totally incorrect assumptions like Apparently i choose not to do something that involves walking around, like shopping ect, And although i suffer incontinence once a month i'm only really at risk of that if i don't find a toilet quickly enough , i also sat for some 49mins at the wca apparently when the recording is only 39mins in total (can be heard ) and i was asked to stand up a short time before this , Maximus are just as bad if not worse, The format in the report has changed somewhat and is imo more confusing as they no longer show the descriptors as they used to do,
  25. tommy456
    Ahh ,but they have announced plans to make changes to the descriptors for PIP, So they will no doubt make it virtually impossible to meat the criteria and score points, They have done a similar thing to ESA over the years
