does anybody claim Employment support allowance because you're not able to work due to anxiety? I have been claiming for about 2 years now and have been in the work related activity group for a year.
It's been fine until I got a new adviser. she doesn't understand anxiety and makes me go in every 2 weeks for a 5 min appt which could easily be done over the phone. 2 weeks ago i went all the way there to find out my adviser was off sick..
Today I sat in the waiting room for an hour (!!) as she was running late then when she finally did see me she was answering the phone during out appt, and told me I have to attend a course which is 10 days in a row starting friday, I was very shocked and started crying because thats way too much for me, plus I do voluntary work and go to college so thought it was a bit unfair.
I hate the place, absolutely DREAD going, every time im there they ask me to do job searches but Im not ready to get a job!! which I've told them thousands of times.
She said I wont have to do the full 10 days but still have to go in friday which im already panicking about! I feel like they just want to get me to get a job asap so they can tick their boxes and say good riddance!!
