Hi..I am 60yr next month...I have been on universal credit since January.
I have osteoarthritis in both thumb joints. ..am awaiting operation on my left thumb (iam left handed)also cortosoine injection in my right thumb.
I have worked in catering most of my adult life...but can't anymore due to painful hands.
I am looking for 16 hrs work ...am willing totry anything....as long as I'm not constantly using my hands.
Can you be of any help please.

Had meeting at the assessment centre in Cardiff....they found me fit for work
