Growing evidence over the last decade has shown that work can keep people healthy as well as help promote recovery and it is right therefore to offer support to those placed in the work related activity group who are appealing the decision. The work coach or provider will work with the claimant to tailor reasonable activities to help them prepare for a future return to work.
