Disabled People and Carers

Is this information for me?

This information will be relevant for you if you:

• have a disability
• have a health condition
• have been seriously injured, or
• are caring for someone.

It explains the support that's available to you if you're:

• unable to work
• looking for work, or
• not looking for work at the moment, but may be in the future.

Personal advisers help most of the disabled people, people with health conditions and carers who are looking for work through Jobcentre Plus. They can provide details of suitable vacancies and explain more about the range of programmes available to help you.

If you need extra support, specialist advisers can help you plan the best way for you to find work. If you're already employed, specialist advisers can discuss your current employment situation. If you're concerned about losing your job for a reason associated with your disability or health condition, our Disability Employment Advisers can give you and your employer advice, and explore practical ways to help you keep your job.

If you cannot work, we can tell you about the financial and practical support you may be able to get, and refer you to appropriate services offered by other organisations.

The information on this website can help if you have a disability or a health condition, or if you're a carer.
