Last week I called my social worker to check if she needed any papers sent in, because I've recently been approved for a program where I can work on reduced hours, as I am disabled - something that took me about 4 years to get on. Anyways, she replies that she's not entirely sure but she doesn't think so, but is like "I'll ask my coworkers and call you back"Â And then 8 days pass, wherein I notice that the part of my income (I'm on something comparable to jobseekers allowance but it is split between two parts of the system, again because of my disability.) haven't ticked in and the more that becomes a problem the more i try to call her to no avail.Â
So today I finally got through to her and she said that I didn't need to send anything in until the day I got work. So then I ask why my money hadn't gone in this month and she's like:
"Oh I assumed you got a job"

Mind you, in the system I know she has access to, she can look up my social number and see that I am listed as "Currently unemployed". Heck she could even check my CV and hire me as the assistant that she cleeeeeeeeeearly needs.Â
But no, It's easier just assume that I have a job despite there being no indication for such. I just asked a question. Seriously. Why.Â
