WFI's for Lone Parents was created by RachelPotter
Hi, I have just been reading in my favourite publication, The Decision Makers Guide' :whistle:

that if you are a lone parent and have one or more child aged 14 or 15, that WFI's should be spaced at 13 week intervals.

Obviously this will change when the new bill becomes law, in April 2012.

Does anyone have any experience of this?

Many thanks,
Rachel

My Ex wife has to take part in these - she hasn't had any problems as yet - they even told her at the job centre she has little chance of getting a job even though both our children have now finished school. As long as she keeps the appointments her benefit is safe (for now at least).

I usually joke with her that they are saving all the jobs for us the disabled :-).

Thanks for the reply. May I ask, is your wife on sickness benefits?

I was hoping it was quarterly interviews for people on ESA?

Best wishes,
Rachel

Rachel would you be kind enough to tell me whereabouts in the guide it says this (I can't be bothered to go through it all!), does it mention kids of any other age? thanks very much
