Incapacity Benefit Reassessment - new mentoring service from Making Space

By
If you live in Manchester or Broughton, have a mental health condition and currently claim Incapacity Benefit, you might be interested in a new peer mentoring service from Making Space.

If you're claiming long-term Incapacity Benefit, the DWP will shortly be asking you to undertake an Incapacity Benefit Reassessment to decide whether you could be considered fit for work.


When they contact you, you can call on the Making Space Work4you service to help you
through the process.

Making Space will make sure you have the right information to take with you for your interview, or we can attend the interview with you if you wish, and help with any appeals if necessary.

As readers of this blog may know, Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust is in the process of relocating psychiatric inpatient services from Edale House at the Central Manchester Hospital (MRI) site to Park House at North Manchester General Hospital. We've always been concerned about the impact that this move will have on carers and service users in terms of increased transport times. A representative from the Trust came to our meeting last month to update us on plans for transport and the Trust's latest newsletter contains the following update on the service user and carer transport sub-group: "The group last met on 6 February and it was decided that another visitor questionnaire should be undertaken to make sure that we make the right  decisions about transport.  It was also agreed that more engagement and       communication with service users is necessary and  the service users and carers who attend the meetings will support this....
