Hi adrian
I do feel your frustration, unfortunately you are not alone and it will only get worse.
Keep supplying a fit note and make sure you note it on your journal.
I have come across a number of claimants in a similar situation to yourself, they got sanctioned as they were unable to attend in person a workcoach appointment, they were advised on their journal to apply for a mandatory reconsideration which they did and their sanctions were over turned.
I would advise you to seek help from your local Welfare Rights Organisation who will be able to guide you through the process; advicelocal.uk

Hi adrian
DWP are a law unto themselves, it all depends as to what is written on your claimant commitment;
There are 4 conditionality groups:
* Group 1. No work related requirements
* Group 2. Work-focused interview requirement
* Group 3. Work preparation requirement
* Group 4. All work-related requirements
