It's offical

I am now unemployed, after a couple of meetings with work (which Grandma attended with me) they have finally decided to terminate my contract as I can't give them a time scale for when I will be back to work, I am so happy they have finally come to this conclusion, but scared aswell as this is the first time I have been unemployed since I was 15.
Hopefully I might even get my funding for my holistic therapies course (fingers crossed)
I have been awarded dla, council tax benefit, incapacity benefit, have to fill out a form for income support and help with my mortgage, does anyone know what other help I can claim, or who I can go to, to pay for my course? xx

My local job centre is always threatening to pay for courses to "help" me back into work, it's always worth chatting to them, or there maybe something on the Direct.Gov website, which tells you what you can and can't claim and how much it might be (depending on the benefit).

If only Grandma.....

....I can only blame the colour of my hair for that one!

Heehee!! xx

Holistic Therapy will be ideal for ya, good luck with it all

yep the job centre could be the place to go and see if they can point in the right direction if its not their department.

I have been working with the disability lady at the job centre for over 6months, we have tried several avenues and all have been rejected, but hopefully now i am unemployed things might start to get moving better, will let you know how it goes xx
