What is the Condition Management Programme?
The Condition Management Programme (CMP) is one of the options within the Pathways to Work project. It is a partnership between NHS and Jobcentre Plus designed to help people on Incapacity Benefit (IB) manage their condition and return to work with the right help and support.

How do I get on the programme?
CMP is available for all Incapacity Benefit claimants through your Incapacity Benefits Personal Advisor (IBPA) at the Jobcentre.

Is CMP compulsory and does it affect my benefits?
No, CMP is voluntary and if you do not attend it will not affect your benefits.

Is it a shortcut to NHS services?
Definitely not. CMP does not provide a treatment service. Instead CMP staff will advise on how to manage your condition.
