Hello I would like some advice please,I have posted about my decision been made to put me in the WRAG,I am currently writing my letter for reconsedaration,my local job centre called me today and said they will wait to hear about the decision before asking me to come in,I explained I am housebound,they said that they should be able to appointments on the phone but eventually they want me to go in (or so it sounds) he said they want to help under my circumstances but don't want to warp me in cotton wool,they would offer me a private room and so on,I have said it won't matter I have agoraphobia,I guess I want to know if they will force me,also how often do they expect to see/speak to you?

Hi @rachel1988
I can imagine this situation is probably very stressful for you.
Are you getting any support with this process? Your local Citizen's Advice might be able to provide some help.
