Consent Form ; Jobcentre. was created by weymouth321
Hello,
The Disability Advisor gave me a Consent form for Sensitive Information to be held on the Jobcentre Plus Labour Market System ( LMS) Database to be signed by me.
She ticked the box ; I have a health problem that affects my day to day life.
She also wrote my insurance number on it.
She post this form to me as I was not able to attend my last usual interview , due to pain.
And we had a telephone interview in place of.attending the Jobcentre itself.
She also wrote ; " to share information with Alabare , " on the form. This is the place of work
experience they want me to start with shortly.
Now, I am not happy to sign this form. Is it obligatory ?
Many Thanks, J.

I cannot give you a definitive answer as this is not an area of benefits that we cover on the forum but as far as I am aware you are not required to sign this form.

As I understand it this is about data sharing and therefore the Data Protection Act, although you have, by applying for a benefit, given permission to the DWP to hold your data, this permission does not extend to contractors used by the DWP for the Work Programme and this is what the form is about.

I cannot comment as to whether or not it is your interest to allow the sharing of this information.

Hi J,

As stated by Gordon, we do not advise on this.

Here is what came up with a quick : Google Search.
