Nomen Nescio

I am a long term Jsa receiver. This morning I had one of many 3 months
review assessments. The JC+ officer changed my jobsearch targets from
IT to warehouse work. I asked why and she said that I have no written
qualifications for that kind of work and I have been unemployed for
too long to justify that kind of jobsearch.
I replied that I don't have qualifications or work experience for
warehouse work either and she said that you don't need any experience
or qualification to work in a factory. I said that nowadays it's much
more difficult in this country to work in a factory than in IT because
the manufacturing industry is dead while office work is still
available, plus I have experience in IT though not recently.
She decided that she will suspend my claim until I change my mind plus
she called the security guard to evict me from the building (see post
2).
The question now is: what to do? Can I challenge this decision and how?
Do I have to wait till they call me to explain my reasons or should I
act now? I am at loss. Would I lose all my benefit or will it just be
suspended for some time? I think this is just intimidation. How do I
get round this? There's definitely no quick way to get into work in my
area, if I lose my benefit I'm done. Thanks
