Hello there @jo996, I wonder have you been in touch with Scope's Employment Support Services?

You might like to look into Support to Work. It's a free online and telephone support programme for disabled people in England and Wales, who are looking for paid work. Do remember that this is not a face-to-face service, so may not be right for everyone.

What did you enjoy most about your volunteering work?

Which benefits are you claiming exactly?

jo996

Essa and pip

Thanks. As you're claiming ESA then permitted work rules are that it must be less than 16 hours per week, not up to 16 hours. The earnings are no more than £167/week. If you work more and earn more than this then your ESA will stop. You must tell ESA that you're working (if you start) and fill out the PW1 form.

I know I just need help for finding a job that I can only do 16 hours because it's not easy for me to find something I don't know where else to look.

Hello @jo996

Have you looked at the GOV job search page? They have a huge list of employers who are disability confident. It's a great starting point, and where I started when job searching

jo996

Yes i am applying in gov website but they never answer aplication.

It sounds really difficult that you are not receiving responses @jo996. Could you use the Gov website as a spring board and apply directly with the companies / contact the companies directly?
