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

  • The trouble is, that even if a policy is written to address it all, unless staff are up to the job and trained adequately you will always get idiots fobbing off and being unhelpful when people try to get the assistance.

    The big issue is the invisible disability side that is not given enough publicity and awareness is virtually nil.  It's not about tick-boxes and it should never have been.
