New Deal for Disabled People, and Pathways to Work schemes

Firstly for those unaware of these schemes, the details are available here www . direct.gov.uk/en/DisabledPeople/Employmentsupport/ WorkSchemesAndProgrammes/index.htm?CID=DWP&TYPE= Sponsoredsearch&CRE=WorkSchemesAndProgrammes
(copy and paste removing spaces, sorry can't post proper links).

I was wondering if anyone with experience of these schemes knew what kind of jobs people were usually referred to? I suspect they'll tend to be close to minimum wage and that it's easy for them to forget their clients educational qualifications and previous work experience, when in the pursuit of good statistics. Better than nothing I suppose - but when you're capable and able to do much more - should you not have the opportunity to do so - hence contributing to the economy by paying more taxes, and helping pay off some of those disability benefits they've been claming.

Thanks in advance for any contributions :A
