Hi, i found this site and looked very promising.
I will give a ( hopefully ) short description of problems.
My son is 19 years old, he was diagnosed with emotional, behaviour and social difficulties when he was 8 years old. His reading and writing is well below his age range. He had a statement of special educational needs up until he left school at 16 years old. There was nobody who we could talk to for advice, infact my doctor said ' he needs to get out more' .. ok but he has social problems, so no help there. We tried our local Connexions people who said ' clamin dla'.. turned down twice because no up to date information. ( because there was nobody to turn to for help ). Cannot claim esa because dr says ' he is not ill ' and will not give medication cert.. so he claimed jsa, but now jsa said they are taking his money away because he needs to apply for 6 jobs a week.. how when he cannot read or write properly? and yes they are aware of this.
I need some advice on who to talk to. not c.a.b because they said to claim esa. Seriously think im going to have a break down again.
Please please any advice, very desperate mummy here
