BOLTON man, Brent Knowles is pleased to be back at work.
After been in the motor trade for 39 years Brent found himself unable to work after he underwent joint replacement surgery.
He spent two years on Incapacity Benefit Brent but has now been able to return to work thanks to a pioneering "New Deal" scheme.
The New Deal for Disabled People Initiative has already helped 250 people with health problems find jobs.
It was praised last week by the Social Security Minister, Hugh Bailey.
Brent received a £200 ASDA voucher as a special promotion to celebrate his achievement.
He said: "Being back at work is just the right medicine for me."
