Transitioning from reduced capability for work to part time work
Hi guys. I am looking for advice and/or to hear other's experiences of transitioning from not being able to work/receiving benefits to being able to do part time.
I have a chronic illness which fortunately (with treatment) seems to have improved and I am at a point where I am starting to do some things to get prepared for work even though I am not currently expected to.
I am thinking of trying some work experience even though I am in my late 20's , I never really got to work much before I got unwell and am concerned my confidence in a work situation could be quite low at first. I would also need to see how I physically managed.
Would be good to hear others expereinces or to have a discussion :)
