Work coach appointment. Is this normal when you're off sick from work?

Hi, I started a claim for UC in August when I had to go off sick from work. Sent UC50 back couple of weeks ago. In my journal it says I have a phone appointment with my work coach regarding my work commitments. I’m just wondering if this is normal when you’re off sick from work? I still have a job so obviously I’m not job seeking.

You're claiming UC as a job seeker, your fit note doesn't automatically entitle you to limited capability for work. You will need to make sure you attend any appointments that are made for you, otherwise you could be sanctioned.It's a work coaches discretion whether they turn off or reduce work commitments, some do but some don't.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

Ah I didn’t realise that I was classed as a job seeker, makes sense now thank you.
