In-work Benefits

People with a learning disability are often put off work because the benefits system is complicated. They don't know if they would be better off in work, and they are not sure they would get back on benefits if they lost their job.

Benefits Advice

Please visit here for the contact details of people who can help you with this. The Directgov website has a benefits adviser that can help you get a benefits estimate or check what benefits you might be entitiled to. This resource can be accessed here...
