Retraining and alternative work

We do not determine medical fitness for work or the underlying medical limitations. However, drawing on the relevant medical and other professional evidence, we consider how identified difficulties such as fatigue, pain, restricted mobility or stamina, cognitive or executive-function difficulties, concentration difficulties or mental health difficulties interact with the practical and performance demands of employment.

We consider the demands and entry requirements of training, whether the proposed route is realistic, and the employment opportunities afterwards. Psychometric methods may be used where they add useful information. The aim is to identify options that make sense for the individual rather than simply produce a list of theoretically possible jobs.

Your report provided clear and persuasive evidence on retraining potential and future employment prospects.
