Refusing to claim benefits

Corky

I am a mum to a 39 year old autistic boy. My son suffers awful social anxiety and hardly leaves the house. He was diagnosed with autism last year. He has been unsuccessful in the workplace and is not working at present. He refuses to claim benefits and so relies on his Mum and Dad looking after him.

Does anyone else have this problem with their adult child?

Many thanks xxx

  • I wonder if part of the reluctance is the fact he knows that work will be forced upon him weather he's able to do it or not? 

    I do claim benefits my self and despite the fact I have worked before working again scares me because I know that I have limited capability but even if I find a job where I exel thr unknown is for how long.. When does burnout hut and for how long g does it last because for me burn out can be lien a weight dragging me down basic tasks become impossible
