The attention of GMWRAG has been drawn to the excellent leaflet and form produced by Rhondda Cynon Taff CAB and Suffolk Law Centre to give to a work coach to request reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010. A formal request to Jobcentre Plus must produce a response addressing each of your points. This will be useful to take into a first interview when the claimant commitment is being drawn up, or at any point along the line to get it reviewed.
The leaflet is for JSA but obviously would work for UC/ESA as well. You can download a copy from here. GMWRAG believes nothing bad comes from Wales, so there.
Additional to this we want all our members to note that there is a new “Equalities and human rights” forum on Rightsnet. We suspect advisers are going to find this invaluable in the face of the onslaught from Universal Credit full service.
Additional to the above GMWRAG has been doing our annual (well, okay, biannual) spring clean of the web site. This involves testing that all links on the right hand panel of the site remain live (as usual a number were not). As ever we’d appreciate it if members could let us know if they find anything which doesn’t work properly.
You’ll also see a few old posts disappear. Nothing essential. So this will be things like job adverts that we’ve archived on various pages and posts about things to download like minutes which are also stored permanently elsewhere.
