      I can’t think of a reason why you shouldn’t ask, so go ahead. There’s no data protection issue as it is about you, if I understand the law correctly. Any experts?

      I hope Mrs. E. knows she has to go to JCP NOW for any out of work benefit, and it has nothing to do with her 20th Feb. appointment.

      The WP won’t get any bonus (~£1200) until you’ve completed 6 months work, just the £400 attachment fee, slim pickings – which is why they’re all going out of business, thank goodness.
