Pathways to work concern

Is it correct that those on 12 months prognosis in ESA WRAG will soon also have to go to Pathways ? I heard that it used to be those on 3 months, then was recently increased to those on 6 and now is even been strongly considered for those on 12 months.

I got 12 months prognosis so I am a bit concerned if this is true and going to happen. So just curious if anyone else has heard this and if there is any more details ?

Thanks. I wonder if I misunderstood the term used, I think I only used the word "Pathways" because that is what I always remember it being called, the person who told me the info probably didn't mention Pathways but did say it was an organisation that gets payment for each person who they get employment for that lasts 12 months in the job.

So reading your FAQ it says 3 months before prognosis people will be put in the work programme. Perhaps this person meant that was only for those with 3 or 6 months on their prognosis but has now changed to those with 12 too ? Or perhaps what they meant is everyone with 6 or 12 months, along with those already with 3, will have to go to this programme straight away rather than waiting until the last 3 months.

Whatever it was, it didn't sound too promising if it comes in to action. I just remember them saying it recently changed to those with 6 months prognosis and is now being considered for those with 12 months too, and it was work programme related.

How can they be given targets when each claimant has different levels of disability, you can't target that surely. What a whole joke this system is. Is it due to the Condems or was Labour planning all this too ? Ever since the new government has come in everything seems to be changing day by day almost.

Are talking about people with a terminal prognosis ?
