FND, Flexible New Deal?

Perhaps I have been too busy, desperately seeking support from the 'old' New deal, to notice or be aware that there was a FND, Flexible New Deal, being rolled out?

As a 50 plus Incapacity Benefit recipient, struggling to survive on +/_ £80 per week, while seeking specific retraining funding, I would like to ask this question.

“How many out of work people were consulted on this new scheme and where can one obtain a copy of their feed-back?"

As usual, there appears to be a lot of spin coming from the government, a lot of negativity from the so called private sector agencies and contractors and most importantly, a huge amount of depressed feelings coming from the very people it is supposed to be helping.
