hi I claim universal credit and my partner works. he recently had open liver surgery and is recovering well. He only get SSP from work while he is off on sick leave. Universal credit are pestering him to go to the job centre to talk about his job options and looking for work. I read in the forum somewhere that you can get a form to stop them doing this. can anyone help please
Hello maynia
I am Brian On of the Community Champions here. I have just noticed your post has gone unanswered. I can't answer it myself as I have a different cancer and I know nothing about Universal Credit. I can suggest two options for you to get an answer to your question:
* Telephone our Support line on 0808 808 00 00 (9am to 5pm Monday to Friday) during office hours and ask to speak to a financial advisor - they should have an answer for you.
* You could pose your question online to an expert using this link Ask an Information and Support Adviser Please give them a couple of days to answer.
I do hope this answers the question and I wish you and your partner well.
Best wishes - Brian.
