Re: job center gave me two different signing dates - i missed one, can they sanction
No they can not sanction you for their mistake, take a copy of the appointment card and a copy of the letter to show them, telling them its their error, you went by the date on the appointment card. They can however refuse you hardship if your not available or looking for work, which i suspect is what they have saying.
Are they aware your pregnant? as you would fall in the vulnerable person category then, and should be eligible for income support instead and they should have told you as such too - https://www.gov.uk/income-support/eligibilityPlease note that this advice is given informally, without liability and without prejudice.

Under no circumstances give them the original documents, lest they 'accidentally' get lost. Provide photocopies. Make it clear that unless they act immediately to rectify their mistake, you will make a formal complaint.
DWP staff will lie without hesitation, so be on your guard.Comment

As you have found out, there are some dishonest people working for JCP who will do anything to cheat honest people out of benefits to which they are lawfully-entitled. These people give honest JCP staff a bad name and expose them to physical and verbal abuse which they do not deserve. If you have the name of the weasel who cheated you out benefits, speak to your MP and see if you can get them to give JCP a kicking and the weasel kicked onto JSA.Life is a journey on which we all travel, sometimes together, but never alone.Comment
