situation is client with a learning disability doing permitted work with support from learning disability specific supported employment service (not ours an external one).

they have reached 52 week limit but seems pretty clear to me this is a case that can be considered as supported.

just wanting to see if anyone has done this in practice to get an idea of the quickest route to getting it accepted as supported as time is tight.  local jcp?  local bdc?  likely to need to escalate?

any practical experiences welcome.

Wasn’t it supported all along; didn’t JCP know? Also; sucking eggs I know, but I trust your client is in the WRAG; otherwise you needn’t worry about it.

yes and yes. they just havent recorded it as being supported.

i also seen they intend/intended to cut the 52 week time limit in any case but it doesnt look like thats happened yet going by the regs.
