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

  • Thx for the post Longman and i'll look into the UKCES. It's like having children running the country with this coalition, there's no compation for there fellow beings, as long as there lining there own pockets there happy, anyway, they won't get me down, i'll plod on. At the moment i'm waiting for an appointment with CAB, they are going to help me fill in the PIP form, they must be busy though because my appointment is'nt untill 12/12/13. Meanwhile i'm in the middle of trying to claim ESA for my daughter because she couldn't cope with the demands from JSA and CAB advised me to. At the moment I'm at the stage where they want a fit note so i've made an appointment with her GP for tomorrow 27/11/13, I could do with some advice/help on how best to explain to the GP her prodicament. Are aspies usually successful when asking a doctor for a fit note.

    Huge THX to all
