Not directly although I have been with the local branch of Remploy trying to get a job, only thing with them is, their company policy when applying for jobs is for the client not to declare their disability, eh? To me this is dishonest and proves what I've been saying for years, employers automatically bin applications from the disabled cos they think we aren't "normal" (define "normal"!).
Also, the Remploy factory in Sheffield closed 2 years ago in a range of cuts by the company, besides which, I would've refused to work there on principle, I've done that kind of work, it's hard work, a long day, and because the clients are all on benefits, the "pay" doesn't even meet minimum wage.
Richard thousands of us do hard work jobs, which is indeed a long day, and the pay is not that brilliant.
I know people who do work and their wages are topped up by DLA or Tax Credits.
I dont have the range of 'disabilities' as you but I do have health issues and still manage to work 30 hours per week with tax credit top ups.
As you know jobs are hard to come by so your quote wont help you.
"besides which, I would've refused to work there on principle"
Pride becomes before a fall !
Anyway sorry for going off topic and lets hope everyone wins on the Euromillions this Friday !
