I think we have advised about changing your username in another thread, haven't we*? This is one reason for asking that all queries are kept together as it saves the mods duplicating their efforts and means that we have all available information in one place

* If not, please let me know and I will give you the neccessary information.

Hi,
Yes I wondered why your username had not changed.
Try using the e-mail address on this FAQ, in your own e-mail account, rather than clicking on the link on the FAQ page :
My full name is showing, how can I stop it?
If you are still not successful, please return to this topic and let us know.
Quite a lot of members have successfully changed their username recently in a matter of hours.

And also that Mandatory Work Activity is not time-limited for WRAG folk, whereas it is for JSA folk?
I've learnt this from your site and its links, I think.

I cannot comment on the JSA aspect of your question as we do not advise on this, but with regard to ESA, claimants can be required to carry out voluntary work or work for a private company that would benefit the community, as there is no specific timescale associated with this activity, I guess it would not be regarded as time limited.
However, any activity that an ESA claimant is asked to undertake, must take into account any restrictions and/or limitations that result from their condition(s), so the DWP do not have carte blanche as to what they can ask you to do.
