unreasonable appointment?

[copps321]

my seetec advisors keep trying to give me appointments to use there computers for an ELVIS session (which i can easily do at home) i have missed the last 2 and i have a 3rd tommorow now as i have not been sanctioned after recieving the good reason letter from dwp am i to understand that the decision makers may agree that these are unreasonable because of my agoraphobia? i tell Seetec everytime that i wont be able to sit on there computers because of this but they still seem to give me these appointments

The DWP DM may agree with you that these appointments are unreasonable, but I wouldn't count on them reaching that decision every time - If, as you have mentioned in the past, the appointment letters fail to conform to DWP guidance on ESA Mandatory Activity Notices, they could be throwing out the benefit doubt on a technicality.

 

Wasn't sure what this ELVIS thing was until I went to the web site:

Elvis is accessible by Seetec staff and customers on a programme, where you will find a wealth of information covering but not limited to: jobsearch resources, information on Apprenticeships, skills training, safeguarding and motivational tips plus much more.

Nuff said !

 

I would suggest your next step would be a formal complaint to the manager explaining why these "sessions" are unsuitable and that you can access their system from home without having to visit their office. keep the letter short and to the point as anecdotal evidence suggests that these people have difficulty responding to long letters.
