A motorcyclist who was injured in a hit-and-run crash last month believes he is the victim of a mix-up at his local job centre.

Unemployed Paul Dawson, 52, who lives off Panfield Lane, Braintree, has until recently been required to attend the Jobcentre Plus, in Fairfield Road, Braintree, on a weekly basis to claim Jobseekers’ Allowance (JSA).

But last week he discovered he was in possession of an appointment card belonging to another Paul Dawson, who lives in the same road as him.
