Routes onto Incapacity Benefit: Findings from a follow-up survey of recent claimants

The purpose of the follow-up survey was to provide quantitative information on the position of recent claimants a year after their application for IB, in order to further our understanding of the processes associated with remaining on, or leaving, IB. It provides information about changes in health, benefit and work status in the six months since the initial interview and examines the factors associated with return to work.
