    HI

    I am claiming casual/part time jobseakers benefit.

    I got a letter from my local office on Friday asking that i call to the hatch before Monday at 12.00.

    Is this normal or does it mean that i am in trouble? I wrote to them last week asking that they change my address so might it be about that?

    I know i am probably over reacting but i have visions of them stopping my payments just before Christmas.

    Also, i am claiming for about 6 months now - might i have to do a fas course to keep my benefits, even though i am working part time.

    I would really appreciate any advice.

    Cool - I rang them and they said it was fine for me to move out of my house and rent it, and move somewhere else ( which is what i have done) as benefit isnt means tested.

    I hope that is right- i have the name of the person i spoke to anyway.
