Before your appointment at Tipton
- Check the date, time and office in your appointment letter, text or journal. It may not be the jobcentre closest to your home.
- If you have been asked to prove your identity in person, bring 1 photo ID document and 2 supplementary documents, all originals, for example a passport or photocard driving licence plus a bank statement and a P60. Full list of accepted documents.
- If the appointment is to agree your claimant commitment, think about the work you can do, the hours you are available and anything that limits what you can do. How the claimant commitment works.
If you cannot get to Tipton jobcentre
Contact DWP straight away by adding a note to your Universal Credit journal, or using the contact details your work coach gave you, and explain why. GOV.UK gives examples such as a hospital appointment at the same time, being unexpectedly ill, or a domestic emergency.
If DWP decides you had a good reason, your payment will not be reduced. If not, you may get a sanction. If your only requirement is to attend appointments, a missed appointment usually leads to the lowest level sanction, which lasts until the day before you contact DWP to arrange a new appointment.
