What's your experience with work coaches?

It's a hostile environment in the job centres, not many job coaches I met were empathetic more were authoritarian and I felt they had power over me as if they are paying the benefit from their pocket. Not all people understand everything about the physical or mental health challenges they are not professional in this regards but still they get to make the decisions.

It's very stressful, will have detrimental affect on people's mental health.
