【 摘 要 】

Loss of functional ability has been introduced as a criterion for social benefits in several European countries. This criterion may direct attention towards work ability and individual resources, and thus reduce the number of persons claiming social benefits. However, little is known about how functional ability is conceptualised by GPs.
