It's important to remember that not everyone's experience of employment advisers from the Job Centre will be the same @MrAllen1976, but thank you for sharing your experience.
Definitely have a look into Scope's employment services @colliedog1 -

@woodbine - Please keep conversation on the topic of the OP. @MrAllen1976 is allowed to talk about his lived experience, and express an opinion on the subject matter, as much as anyone else. As has been advised previously, we do not allow content that harasses another member and I'd ask you to reflect on i) how your questions added value to the OP and ii) if they were intended in the friendly ethos that underpins our community.
@colliedog1Did you find any of our members' suggestions useful? What next steps will you take do you think?

My advice would be to try and speak with the work coaches at the job centre, and also see whether they know of any local organisations that offer disability employment support, I know in my area there are a few organisations that will work only with disabled job seekers and you would be allocated a personal one to one advisor who would support and guide you, they also tend to be very good in my area in terms of knowledge, having access to other organisations and been able to do referrals. So maybe there is something similar in your area too?
