- Answering all your questions about the Access to Work scheme here in the UK! It's a government grant for working disabled and/or chronically ill people that nobody tells you about. It's there to help disabled people or those with chronic health conditions get or stay in paid work and gives you support whilst at work. I applied last summer and it's made such a difference to my working life so I wanted to share everything I have learnt with you including the process, the equipment you can get and all about support workers. If you have any further questions please drop them in the comments and I'll do my best to answer!

J'adore cette jeune fille !!! 🤩🤩🤩
It sounds so much better to be disabled in the UK than here in the US. My family has Ehlers-Danlos and Marfan syndromes, and we stuggle for every bit he have, and do without whatever we must.
idk if you know, but some states in the US have vocational rehabilitation
I can't use it do to being unable to do any work at all but it may be helpful to people who can work but struggle with lack of accessibility
not saying it's perfect or better or even equal, but wanted to say just in case it would help
but I agree, the system genuinely sucks because it took me 6 years since applying to get SSI and I've been disabled way longer
Thank you❤❤❤
Love that you're making this detailed guide! Super useful idea! 🥰
Se ve un sistema muy organizado para ayudar y también socialmente hablando se acepta y respeta las diferencias no veo eso en otros lugares me alegra mucho saber que ahí es así porque las enfermedades siempre son más duras de lo que aparentan si además el trabajo y la vida social el respeto y las relaciones no son respetuosas ni ayudan entonces es muy complejo mostremos tolerancia respeto y ayuda 🐳
I'm so glad to see you back, your content has always been so useful to me through my journey...
I saw you recently in one of Gem's videos (wheels no heels) and I was so happy to see you out and about!
Love, light and spoons to you and all who need them!
