The “Pathways to Work” scheme, which is available to all claimants of incapacity benefit and has the aim of helping claimants return to work, was introduced in 2004 by the previous government, under the Labour Party. This scheme established teams of personal advisers who focused solely on incapacity benefit recipients, as well as mandatory monthly work-focused meetings, a voluntary choices project that included Condition Management Programmes (cognitive education programmes to help clients manage their conditions in a working environment) and financial incentives. By 2008, the programme, which was provided by a mixture of private and voluntary providers (60%) and Jobcentre Plus (40%), covered all of England.
