Hi Joanne,
Well lets hope she tells the idiots who took the money off you! Its all so wrong you know, a sick note should mean that your not able to work and yet it doesn't now a days..... but the people who say your not are doctors and the ones who say you are just pen pushers so I can't understand how they have the last word on it......
Good luck and though its still a while away I really hope you will get the hep you need and WIN! Luv and a ((( ))) Cris who likes the new youxx

Hi Joanne
I could write a few things about jobcentre plus, but the post would be so long, people would fall to sleep half way through and that was only from one visit. Suffice to say, we were not hoodies, we didn't swear or require throwing out the door by the security guards, (two were evicted from the premises while we were waiting), we were polite and could hold a coherent conversation as we were sober.
I was terrified to be honest, the information was a waste of time and from the comments made we could have made a real case against them. But, life is too short. We were asked not long ago, if we wanted to make a formal complaint, by an official body.XX Aidan (still known as Bubbles).0 -

Well I am glad lady was shocked about your lack of benefits because it is appalling.
Best wishes for your appeal

Absolutely, there would have been no trouble at all then. The lady said "oh we get all sorts in here, murderers, drug dealers, etc". I am off to buy a hoodie and talk thick, walk with my knuckles dragging the floor, get a pit bull and a shell suit, shave my head and then I will win the jackpot. :shock:XX Aidan (still known as Bubbles).0 -
Hi Joanna as it is election time can you contact an MP coucillor who are looking for votes and tell them about this injustic e and right to the press and show these bas
up or can Arthritis Care help after all where are these bodies who are supposed to be sticking up for us and opposing this how about a pettion from this site or going on the radio or the One Show0 -
What about the poor Jedi knight who got chucked out of his jobcentre for refusing to remove his hoodie!
Bedst wishes
