The obsession with getting us back into work?

I suggested she "finds me a job" because there are actually none out there that I can actually do without the risk of either extreme pain or a meltdown or other unwanted behaviour. It sounded as though she thought she was some sort of expert, when she clearly isn't.

I've had this discussion about work with the GP who signed me off and he was at a loss of what I could do. I am also physically disabled and working full time wouldn't be possible at all.

Things are very bizarre in the UK at the moment, especially with the UK work program. Those out of work are being encouraged to look for work more than they have ever been before and it is at a time when jobs are even more scarce than before.

So we have special advisers to investigate the "barriers" to getting into work. But everyone seems to be forgetting the massive elephant in the room - there are hardly any jobs and over five times more people looking for jobs. Plus there are millions of part time workers who are after full time jobs but cannot find them.

Jobs must be provided if people are expected to work, but instead they are being taken away.

Im just wondering how many level twos are deemed acceptable on an allowance your given.
I know there are hours and time you put in which I need to adhere to but this was the only thread about it that offered any help or suggestion so can you do different courses at the same level but have a different awarding body im not sure. I'll ring up anyway, before my next appointment.

I know it is a long shot, but are there jobs that let you telecommute?

I see what you're saying there but long-distance commuting is not an option at this stage.
However, I am prepared to cover some short distances to speed up the shortage I currently am feeling in this recession and needing to set some key options in order to 'prep' me shall I put it, for long term placements, and no, to anyone else who thinks i'm going about things the wrong way, because believe me, every angle has been rewritten back to front and i'm not prepared to head back in the opposite direction now.

I'm 51 years old and was only diagnosed four years ago. I've never had a job and am desperate to work, probably far too desperate to be honest. I receive no help whatsoever in finding work though.

Having a job is how you participate in, and contribute to, society. Most people meet their partners through their work and it's a wonderful opportunity to learn new skills and meet new people [because you have to] who might introduce you to new and amazing ideas.

I cannot understand this reluctance to have a job.

Don't you know you should be contributing to the economy so millions of single mothers can have welfare instead of you?

Gosh.

Many NTs assume that the more competent you are, the more high-paying your career is. If you don't even have any job, they will dismiss you as an imcompetent idiot. (I typed this based on my own experiences.)

According to the link you posted, what you speak about has already been reformed 1993?
