I've not worked much in the past two years due to health reasons. I'm now ready to find a full time job again and at the first interview with a recruitment agency I'm told that my chances might be hampered by my recent medical history, companies might not be too keen to offer me a permanent contract because they are afraid that I get ill again and have to pay me sick pay.

Now, is the government really sure that it can send people on incapacity benefits back to work and keep people working until they are 67?
