    They would have expected you to call and say you couldn't come, either way so probably best NOT to lie!

    Hi everyone,
    I need some serious help?
    What has happened is that when I went to the job centre I was waiting for over half an hour and I approached them and they said you was meant to come in last week I was confused and said I mixed up my dates and I actually did. They have therefore stopped my money for 4 weeks and I can fill ina form for reconsidderation but I have to expand on what I said so I cant say I was ill I would I have said there and then I havr to give a reason to why I mixed up my dates.

    Really, how can you mix up dates? Don't you have a sheet or that green card with your appointment date?
