You can't make this up.
Just called #AccessToWork . It's exhausting. I ended up saying,
"So you don't have my report, which you say is unusual after 3 weeks & you are going to ask my case manager, who is on annual leave with an unknown return date, whose email isn't monitored, to contact me? (1/3)

I’m in the middle of this myself, have had my support cut from 29 hours a week to ten, appealed (mandatory reconsideration) with the support of CAB and my MP, but to no avail. On the way to the Law Centre to see if they can help.
