Does anyone here have experence with the restart scheme?

Peter

The DWP has put me (I'm on universal credit right now) on a new scheme called 'restart' with out consulting me about it. Does anyone here have experence with the restart scheme?

  • I've been on several restart schemes in the past, they change all the time.

    They are run by private companies and you have to attend appointments with them in addition to job centre appointments. 

    They are run to make a profit so they try to keep their own costs down by hiring cheap offices in cheap buildings and my experience was that despite them promising to refund my travel expenses to their appointments, they often found an excuse not to pay.

    They rewrite your cv and help you with advice on what jobs to look for. Main purpose is to get people off benefits by any means necessary.
