Thank you - in regards to employment many jobs that are considered appropriate for our condition even with appropriate training do not match our previous employment experience and are not considered relevant, such as 30 years in supermarket retailing and in my case, working in public areas cleaning and kitchen porter in a hotel just over a year now, which is not really a good fit, but the choice to leave, even if I find a more suitable job without going back on benefits, is not really up to me, from other people, who believe that I need ultra strict military style discipline in order to manage my condition and they want me to have a live in carer and travel chaperone for long distance travel over 20 miles
