Hi. Its an appeal to go from the work related.activity group (wrag) into the support group, if you are in the wrag, you are expected to attend interviews.at the job centre, have a personal advisor to get you back into work, in the support group, they leave you alone, although you can attend the j.c. voluntarily.

Hi !! I am currently working full time .But struggling may I add and im not sure how long I am going to be able to continue to work for . Is pbc not a Disability? I didn't think I would have to go to a job centre as when I do have to leave work it will be because I carnt work anymore , I have been in my current job for 14 years but my quality of live is nil!!! as when im not at work im to tired to do anything else but financially I do worry .

Hi I worked the day before my transplant and was due to go in to work on the day I had my transplant. I intend to be back at work by the end of this month, I'm not sure if it is classed as a diss ability.
