I am on benefits as a carer, 2 of my children have disabilities. I still have to attend the job centre every 6 months anyway for a work focused interview. Despite being on carers and not in a position to work due to my children’s disabilities and being a lone parent but I accept I must attend them. Today I got a letter for my usual job centres 6 month appointment however this time it’s saying it’s in a children’s centre? I didn’t know they did job centre appointments in children’s centres? It’s not even my local one and I don’t know where it is but looking at the address it looks like it’s part of a school. I wouldn’t rather have them at the job centre, has anyone else had this? It also comes with a form that’s asking some really intrusive questions like “absent parents name
And address” no way am I giving that to anyone, And names of any one who lives with me other than my children, not that anyone else does but doesn’t seem relevant to a job centre appointment.
