feel so stupid

[Deleted User]

For the love of god not against your own family.
I would give any thing to see my brother stand.
That my Dad didn't have to have radiotherapy and chemotherapy
That Mum didn't have depression
No doubt as a consequence of my brother's accident.

My brother had been in his Job 10 years+ years - I won't begin to explain what his been through. Grow up - A specially adapted disability car is nothing to be jealous off.

Im not jealous that he has a car far from it, what i don't agree with is that he gets a free car every two years because of CMT. I mean there i am having to get the bus everywhere while he gets a free car every couple of years, that is what i think is not fair

You don't have to have qualifications in a lot of fields, just a willingness to work. Many (including myself) have to get buses everywhere as having a car is far far too expensive nowadays.

Sometimes you just need to keep knocking on them doors until one opens

Then why have i been told that one of the reasons why people don't want me to work for them is because i don't have good enough qulifications I mean i have

I know these aren't huge qualifications but they are the most i have at the moment. I realise my stepbrother is probably better then me and will be better then me at everything now and i cry every night thinking about that but i'm not stupid or dim

Yeah well i've been doing that. I don't know why these places are so picky in who they want, they should be happy that i am applying for their job.

Im running out of time because my money from the DLA is going to stop because the bloody government thinks i have no trouble working, if that happens then my life will be over because i will have nothing

Do you not get esa?

sam_m

No, i don't get that

Id take the working life one off but keep the rest on. You've got a qualification in animal care - have you tried local places that might have positions such as hair clipping places etc or could you get in contact with the princes trust to see if they can help. Also possibly try hotels.

Thing is with applying for jobs it might be weeks or months until places get back in contact. In my job I'm doing now i think it was 2 months from me sending off the application to getting an interview then another month to get allocated training.

Or try agency work as if you have a can do attitude that will just knuckle down and get on with the job they might give you a chance. It's not always the most interesting work in the world but could be the start you need

Id look into that then as employment and support allowance (esa) is different from dla or pip in that it's there for your main life needs really. You might need support from your gp to get it but it will give you living on money if you get it. If not then possibly apply for Jobseeker's Allowance until you get a job

I live in a small town you see, i have tried everywhere in my town and nearly all of them said im not the sort of person they are looking for. I tried in the hotels near me again they said they were not interested .
