After 2 years of my son trying to get a job or even get some work experience, I reluctently agreed to take him to the docters and have him made unfit for work. I was advised by the disabilty work adviser at the job centre to do this to prevent him going on to the work programme which we all agreed he would not be able to cope with.
I had a visit from Gloucester careers who gave me some good advice with completing the ESA paperwork and he is now awaiting an assessment. Social services are due to come and finacially assess him so that he can have vouchers for him to be able to access social events. However i am thinging of cancelling this as he is unlikley to want to go anywhere without me or his dad and he is very protective about giving out financial details.
I have found a local social club for him to attend to try and increase his social skills and am still keen to try and help him access work. Before anyone suggests trying Remploy we aready did and they decided that he was too difficult to place!
any ideas on how to help him gain work in the future would be welcomed
