“…a significant psychological shift rather than reaching a benchmark of complete remission of symptoms) occurring post‐CMP predicted a successful return to work (Kellett et al . ). This evidence usefully revises the previous opinion that DB recipients with mental health conditions are more ‘hard to help’ in facilitating a return to work (Dorsett ; DWP ).…”

There is currently insufficient research guiding policymakers concerning the influence of the presenting health condition of disability welfare recipients on both their receptivity to health intervention and potential eventual return to work. In the current study, all participants were unemployed and claiming disability welfare, due to either physical (N = 1,463) or mental health conditions (N = 2,352). Intervention consisted of a voluntary and pan‐health condition seven‐session group psycho‐educational programme. Groups aimed to increase health condition management skills to enable return to work and this research therefore provided evidence concerning the effectiveness of a ‘health‐first’ policy approach. Data was routinely gathered as a means of evaluating the effectiveness of the programme. Employment and psychological outcomes were longitudinally tracked at four time points: pre‐intervention, post‐intervention, at short‐term (three months) and long‐term (12–30 months) follow‐up. Results illustrate that at a group level participants with mental health conditions were more likely to return to work in both the short and long term and to achieve a greater degree of psychological change over the course of the intervention. At an individual level, higher rates of physical health participants met the criteria for psychological recovery during the intervention. The results of the study are discussed in terms of methodological concerns, how to maximize employment outcomes for welfare recipients who present with differing health conditions and the associated policy implications.

Decades of commitment to the basic principles of the Danish welfare state have been discarded with a new social policy reducing the benefits for people already at the bottom of the income ladder. The political intention is to increase job search via economic incentives that increase the gap between benefit income and market income. Using a panel dataset with benefit recipients, we show that the intended job search effect did not materialise to any significant extent; rather, the affected people became poorer because the vast majority of individuals could not respond to the economic incentives in the intended manner. Joblessness was not due to lack of incentives. This study confirms the importance of employability and self-efficacy, but it shows that health is an underlying variable that explains both of these factors and the recipients’ difficulties in getting a job. The results have two major social policy implications. Access to early retirement schemes should be easier for recipients who have serious health problems and therefore cannot respond to economic incentives, and there should be an increased focus on how to help the recipients without major health problems to develop self-efficacy.
