Hello all,its me-Georgia again,just wondering if anyone would like to communicate with me,maybe get something off your chest,or a general chat,as I will not

judge at all(I am too autistic and have found I have also had many times which have been frustrating to say the least.)I too understand about trying to get on

with family members and many relationships which have failed,so I do understand the frustrations.Chat soon,take care all of you.

    Hi, not so well, I'd be OK  if it wasn't for having a DWP medical assessment on Thursday. Got a friend going with me. Last time I went I scored 0 points, tho that was before being confirmed as having Aspergers. Still worried they'll do the same again, I know I can appeal, but whilst I wait for an appeal I understand I can only claim JSA. I want to work, but I don't believe I can agree to a jobseekers agreement if found fit for work. I know when I had periods of unemployment before 2006/7 I stressed out about finding work then, before the toughening up of the rules. I don't know the other option if it's in my area is UNiversal Credit, at least then I don't have to seek work, but what I don't like about this is rent and council tax money is paid directly to me, where as now it's paid direct to council/housing association, and I'm not the best at maths.
    I know last year I did some work under ESA permitted work rules for a charity that supports leaning disabled adults, tho that ended as immediate manager was a bully. I'm looking for voluntary or paid work through Autism Bedfordshire, I'd love to test out  museum/heritage work. I gather if I say anything about work I'll be found fit for full time work, but I do have limited capacity for work. I assume as the DWP know I did permitted work, they probably think now I'm fine for any work/f/t work. Why can't they just leave me alone as I'm engaging voluntarily with Autism Bedfordshire to get back into paid employment. I feel voluntary engagement is the way to go, rather than risk of sanctions.

    Trying not to stress out over medical, but I can't help it, tho I want to look bad when I'm there to stay as I am voluntarily looking for voluntary/paid work.
