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

  • Please can I draw the attention to the moderators to this thread. This is a clear illustration that Disability Confident isn't working.

    With all the difficulties described above, with young people on the spectrum trying to find work and struggling to get the right benefits, it is clear that the Disability Employment Advisers scheme isn't functioning, and nor is the Disability Confident scheme reaching the people it is supposed to help.

    Can NAS do more please to flag up to Government that DWP and Jobcentre Plus are actually undermining this new strategy.
