Hi all, long time no post.
I'm guessing some of you have been through this which is why i thought i would post this.
On Friday I have my first 'work coach' meeting having been approved for Universal Credit. I claimed because my part time job hours have been cut dramatically.
I have wanted to get a full time job for ages (like, years) but the job I have, or had, was fine. No hassle, just be going in and doing my thing. I resisted because even looking for a job brought anxiety of change and maybe getting into a bad situation when I was in a 'safe' zone which what I had.
I'm worried about what will be expected of me. I don't drive and don't travel well. I spent 3 years commuting by train to college and I don't want to repeat that. This means effectively I have a 2 mile radius that I can walk to work.
I've also seen that I may be expect to spend 35 hours a week looking for work. How? :huh: Does this need to be proven?
My head is starting to spin with it all.
Thanks
Pete
