21, aspie and trying to claim the right benefit

Ant123

hi all, i'm here on behalf of my aspergers daughter, she's 21 and just finished uni with a degree in games art, she is now unemployed so i'm trying to help her claim benefits, benefit enquieries told me to tell her to claim jobseekers but she can't cope with the stress of all the job applications she has to do and as told me she is going to cancel her claim, we need the money and i dont know what to do, she doesn't get any other benefits and never has, surely there must be some help out there for her, would love some help from anyone in similar position, thx

  • hi, i,ve been to cab, theyv'e told me to claim for pip and they will help me fill the form in, they also asked me to claim esa only if my daughter agrees, this is where it gets tricky because she wants a job and she could maybe do some sort of job under supervision with understanding employer but i dont think she'd cope with the majority of jobs and definetly not some of the job jsa would put her in for, she' s inbetween esa and jsa, so i've cancelled her jsa and claimed for esa but she's not happy because she wants a job, i've still got to get the fit note off the doc though and i'm not sure she will get one because she could do certain jobs as long as a pc is involved and she doesn't have to deal with people, its doing my head in now and i dont know what to do, i'm thinking maybe claim jsa again and ask them to go easy on her, but she only really wants a job in games art because thats what she got her degree in. thx again for reply and i'll let you know how i go on sap
