I have made an application to this scheme to see if I can get some help to keep myself in employment . I wonder if anyone has any experiences of using this scheme? I am basically looking at having a "work buddy" who can carry out any tasks related to my job that my disability prevents me from doing . In my case it is operating critical machinery and driving Fork Lift Trucks.
I was / still am facing losing my job due to ill health capability due to my cancer diagnosis but this might be a way to keep myself working . I have always wanted to finish my working life on my terms and see working as a big part of keeping things normal as I go through my treatment.
Any advice would be gratefully accepted.
Hi Pitman1961
I noticed that you haven’t had any replies yet, and as I’m retired I’m afraid I can’t help with any relevant advice.
I noticed you haven’t joined any of the groups which specifically relate to your cancer, so you may want to do that and re post there to widen your audience to see if there is anyone with your type of cancer and treatment who might have faced the same issues and have experience of this government scheme.
If you’d like to do that, I’d be happy to give you the link to a relevant group. Good luck with finding out some more information.
