Ads encouraging people back to work when I log into UC.
Hi, last week is the first time I'd seen this. I due to go to a face to face financial review. Is this something which is likely to come up during the review? I wonder also if there will be greater focus on getting people who are classed as low capacity for work back into work. Thanks.
