Again, many thanks for the responses and good wishes.
Riverwalk , will be driving, and I'm pretty sure Jobcentre do not cover car travel.
I had a bit of a run in with the DWP re my Jobseekers allowance, was tempted to start a thread but didn't. Suffice to say that I have had a letter from them saying that I'm not entitled to any benefit as I have not paid enough contributions for years ending April 2011 & 2012!
I find this a bit odd as according to my P60's (NI only, NOT tax) amount paid in year ending April 2011 was just over £3k, and for year ending 2012 was just over £2,800
I phoned them on Monday to query this, really wish I had got the name of the idiot, patronising git person that I spoke to as he was rude in the extreme!
