hey i applied for job seekers benefit back on 16th June. I just letter todday sayin :

"Re your recent claim for Job seekers benefit.

Could please call to the central reception on X date and ask to speak to X in the unauthorised section to discuss your claim.

If you do not attend I will assume that you do not wish to continue your claim, The claim will then be closed. "

Does anyone have any idea what they could want? bit worried..never like these things

I rang ahead to check if they needed me to bring anything or if this can be sorted out on the phone, but they said there is something on my claim they need to discuss

I have been on JB before from oct 07-April 08 ( signed off as was goin abroad for 4 weeks) so maybe they are thinking i'm on it too long?

Thanks

Did you call into the office to make the new claim already? Maybe they want to make sure your back in the country.

could be anything, don't forget you have a right of appeal should they refuse you, and that you can claim Supplementary Welfare Allowance as you wait.

very much as the discretion of the local office but given your circumstances it's a near certainty you'll get something
