Hello, any one know what to expect from work programme. I am going to have an appointment called "group welcome" at peoplePlus. What to expect from there and how often is this going to be?

Many thanks

It's almost impossible to find anything that covers the Work Programme for ESA claimants. most of what is available is aimed at JSA claimants and the rules are different. The best I can come up with is the following

www.cpag.org.uk/content/benefits-and-work-programme-0

The most important things to be aware are that you cannot be asked to work or to seek work and any activity that you are asked to do must take the limitations by which you received your ESA award into account.

There is also a guide to avoiding sanctions in the ESA section.
