PostSubject: It's offical   10/3/2008, 10:48 pm

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 hooray they have finally come to this conclusion, but scared aswell as this is the first time I have been unemployed since I was 15. Sad
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? hmm 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).
