Benefit Cap was created by India
I've just got off the phone with local JobCentre concerning a letter I've had from them, about a 'referral for an opportunity:Ben Cap Info Group Session'. Despite the fact that I've told the staff many times that I attend a clinic on Weds & Fridays, they continually ask to see me on those days. That aside, I wanted to know more about this 'opportunity' ~ the answers were vague, in that it might be a computer training course, or some other employer offer. Whatever it may or may not be, if I didn't attend I would be marked down as 'not helping myself' ~ what does that mean? I said it sounded like emotional blackmail & made sure I made a laughing noise, in case I was marked down for being difficult & resistant. I shall comply, but I can't help wondering whether I still live in a 'free' society...

Although you appear to have been a member for some time this appears to be your first post and so we do not know anything about you and the benefits you claim.

Are you receiving ESA?

Is this "event" part of the Work Related Activity that you have been asked to do?

If you can supply more information by replying to this post then we may be able to provide an answer.
