So I had my UK Job Centre appointment over the phone and I found out that if I’m out of the country for over 28 days my claim will be stopped. It doesn’t seem very fair, if I went to sort out the same situation to another town in the UK my benefits wouldn’t be stopped, so I’m not treated equally because I’m a foreiner.

28 days is on Thursday next week. There is only one flight I could take, from Kraków, late in the evening, so I’d need to sleep at the airport and for some reason the fast trains to Kraków don’t operate on that day, but there’s no explanation for that.

I don’t think I’ll be ready, to be honest. It will be like I dropped mum into the care home and left. I’m just not ready to think about going back yet. I ordered my 2nd day test though.
