My qualifications in this case are that I've had extensive experience with the job centre in the hot seat position as a claimant.

I have the menthol elves too but nowhere near to the extent you do (again, no offense intended) but they were constantly asking me "are you sure you're really ready for work and should be looking for work?". The extent of my problems are depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts but I actually CAN work. They were constantly trying to get me to go into the other steam, the "not required to look for work" stream for people with health problems.

What I'm saying is that if they drag you kicking and screaming into a job centre, I promise you the work coach won't force a person such as yourself into something your not up to. I'm not saying this to shit on you but you're not someone who is able to work. It wouldn't make sense for them to pressure you into looking for work, somehow getting hired for work, then being sacked due to your mental state. To my mind it is obvious that you cannot work. It will be obvious to them too.

They will put you in the correct stream, tick the right boxes on the right forms on their computer, and in the end you'll have even better supporting evidence for your PIP claims now and in future because you'll have the backing of the job centre that you're legitimately not someone who is capable of working.

There's only so much the job centre can do to force a square peg into a round hole. They cannot force a person such as yourself to become someone who can hold down a job. With all that in mind, my point is that you personally shouldn't let it worry you if some retarded NHS/DWP process means you need to attend a job centre appointment. I promise you, it will be fine for someone like you.
