Hi, has anyone had this and what has your experienced been? I've requested it. I feel cos I'm LCWRA and they don't have to chase me to apply for jobs that the Job Centre is not interested in supportimg me to find Disability Friendly Employers and jobs.

    @gvf23 I'm sorry you feel you are not getting the support. If you need help, we at Scope have our own Employment Support Services. I would encourage you to reach out to them :)

    Hi Hannah. I tried using Scope's services. It's had to end as my mental health is so poor I wasn't up to applying for jobs.

    @gvf23 I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope we can help again when you are in a better place with your mental health. Are you receiving support for it?

    Very limited support on the NHS. I won't reach top of waiting list to try ADHD meds until then.

    @gvf23 I'm so sorry. Have you thought about going private if it is an option?

    Not your fault. But as I've already said I'm on benefits so going private is no way an option.

    It may be worth reaching out to MIND to see if they can support you in being seen quicker.
