The second thing I'd like you to know that on our Ask a Work Support Adviser group page you can ask your question to one of our experts who should be able to give you advice on starting a new job with your new diagnosis.
You also can telephone our telephone support number and ask to speak to a member of the work support team and discuss your question. They can be contacted on
