    If he's fit for work I'm sure he'll accept help from you regarding filling in forms and he can see a Connexions Personal Adviser for help with writing a CV and job hunting skills.

    He can also ask to see the disability employment adviser at the job centre.

    It's really Connexion's role to support young people with disabilities which is why they can remain clients up to the ager of 25, where non disabled people move on at the age of 19.
