Hi @matthew what kind of work did you do previously? What kind of things are you doing to look for work at the moment? It could be worth giving Scope's Support to Work a call to check if there is something we can do to help: 0300 222 5742 or check the info online here: https://my.scope.org.uk/supporttowork/

Congratulations on your new job! Regarding your mental health issues I am suggesting you ask to see a therapist or counsellor in the area. Think of a wheelchair as a tool for independence not a limiting tool.
