We are coming towards then end of 2020, so 2021 maybe more realistic. The answer, yes of course you can if this is what you want to do. You can do anything if you put your mind to. If you're claiming benefits though, working may affect them but it will depend exactly what you're claiming.
Community champion and proud winner of the 2019 empowering others award. This award was given for supporting disabled people and
their families for the benefit advice i have given to members here on the community.
Of course you can @SammyRich90, with the right idea and dedication anybody can start a business and make it succeed.
I noticed you put this discussion in a benefits category, is there a particular reason for that? If it was accidental, I can move it to a more appropriate category.

Hi there I am going Answer and question one at a time
Thank you for replying
So yes 2021 is anymore Realistic goal but because there has been so much happening in 2020 working from home and working as a person with a disability starting up a company seems more likely for something to happen
Question two I am aware that Christian Right category please move it to where you see fit thank you
Number three isn’t really a question but more of a personalGood luck with everythGood lucking . Thank you and I do appreciate it.
Number four is what kind of business is itThat question gets confusing it’s a written and video blog of person with a disability thought and feeling it is also are some Fiction books and two types of T-shirt/print stores online.
My friends dad had a learning disability. He was told from a young age that he would never amount to anything. He had the mental age of a 15 yr old and worked down the pit for 10 years saved up. he had a amazing ability with wood work making wardobe cuboards ect . Very talented. he set up a business with A FRIEND. He amounted to a good business man something he was told he would never be, So yes it is possible
It's a shame when disabled people are made to feel that way @charlie79, but it's always nice to prove the doubters wrong and prove that there is nothing to stop you from reaching your goals.

SammyRich90, very good being creative and becoming self-employed. Selling T-shirts sound more profitable? Good luck. Just start small and you continue to grow. I am a designer but unemployed so I want to be self-employed. But with my PTSD, depression I receive ESA in Support Group. I am scared of sanction by asking Permitted Work. Is there any good agency in London?

@LuckeeBlackCat1
Thank you for your comment the problem with most of these are that all the market are swamped because everyone is doing it
But it’s a good way of becoming self employed self reliant very quickly if you want to put in the hard work
It is just a way of lower in the playing field In this day of age there is no reason why you can’t do both actually actively encourage
If you would like a piece of the pie rather than the whole pie then going self-employed and designing and stuff is a great thing to do
Need an agency based in Windsor my head that will go anywhere around the south-east call Ways into Work if you want to try out
