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

  • Its very hard to claim the benefits, the forms are hard to fill in and Asperger Syndrome doesn't seem to fit into any neat disability catagory, Asperger people seem like normal people until we have meltdowns then everyone just calls us nutters and say "you need help" and "you need locking up", its very very very hard
