Exactly. My friends and my psych were of the opinion that getting out and meeting new people will help me enormously,

Good on ya! Hope it all goes well with the new job, and keep in mind if you're income is low enough to enable qualification for Tax Credits (although you'd get the disabled component irrespective of income being on DLA...) you may also be entitled to Countil Tax benefit / Housing benefit from the local authority. Worth looking into

I get DLA, Tax Credits, Single occupant discount, and housing benefit (not much) which is nice; but it takes away from the incentive to work more...

Good luck with everything
