she just sent back her Reassismentesa50 to ATOs . do they look at her work program record as well? it could help her to go on support group? thanks

being placed in the support group has very little to do with how sick/disabled someone is.
its about meeting the descriptors and ticking the boxes

the part you need to look at is page 26 Limited Capability for Work-Related Activity Descriptors.

I have to say tho that my WP is good in as far as the people that run it, most are paid not much more than the min wage but even still they are kind and as helpful as they can be, but just do not have the means to find jobs for people that aren't there.

I thought the staff were on commission or bonus based income.

I was told the companies that provide the WP get paid more if the attendees find work.

Don't get me wrong, I know a lot or even most are not very nice.

No idea if mine is based on commision or not, but they are really nice people, not met a nasty one yet, there is free tea and coffee, and many times when you go in, there is a tin of quality street on the table from someone that has just found a job and brought them in for the staff, I have just found a job and will also be taking in a few cans of beer and a tin of chocolates for the staff.
