I feel that my disability is causing additional difficulties in finding a job. Where can I seek help?
The Disability Employment Adviser (DEA) at Jobcentre Plus provides specialist support and advice. If your disability affects the kind of work you can do you are eligible to join one or more of the many Government sponsored work programmes without having to wait for the normal qualifying period. Contact the DEA at your local Jobcentre Plus office. You can also contact The Shaw Trust, a voluntary agency which runs a specialist advisory and support service for those disabled aged under 26.
