Cogito - because she has SN's, is a guinea pug for the new linear GCSE's that will see her leave with a raft of 'U's instead of the 'C/D' grades she could have achieved under the modular system, tbh she will be lucky to ever be employed at ALL with her disabilities that the DWP claim aren't severe enough to get financial help with, I have been working towards her eventually being financially independent, but it seems like this Government are screwing her over at every turn.
If YOU were a boss, would YOU employ someone who has Autism, and has regular violent meltdowns, also has heart problems, mild epilepsy, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, and a muscle problem?!
Yet she qualifies for NO additional financial help, and even if she was to go into supported accommodation, who is going to cover the hideously expensive, £800 a week cost if Housing benefit will not cover rent for the under 25's?
I had been arranging a vocational college course (Catering), since she was 12yo I have been in contact with the College involved. Had she been on the Modular GCSE's, she would have got enough 'C' grades through coursework to get onto the Catering course. With a raft of 'U's, she won't.
And what makes it worse is that I have a recognised disability myself, that used to qualify for top rate incapacity benefit when I was unemployed, yet now I don't even qualify for the 'WRAG' group of ESA. And because I no longer get that, my DLA has stopped too. Yet my disability (epilepsy that is nowhere near fully controlled even with huge doses of anti-seizure meds), hasn't vanished or even improved. If anything, it has got WORSE rather than better, yet I no longer get any financial assistance to help me.
I am in the unenviable position of being classed as 'too able' for disability benefits, yet 'too disabled' for unemployment benefit. Therefore, given the new rules, I will have to go back to work, for at least 24 hrs a week, before my DS3 is 5yo, or face having NO income at ALL to support my DC's. Which will now include my DD at LEAST until she is 25. With HB deducted for having a non-dependant living at home. A non-Dep who can't support themselves. And I can't support them either. 
And I'm FAR from alone in this situation. I know FAR too many people who will end up defaulting on their rents because they are trying to feed a non-dependant DC that cannot find work, that they get no Child Benefit for as they are unable to access College courses due to 'U' grades at GCSE, that they don't get TC's for, they are struggling themselves working FT in a job that can't POSSIBLY support a family, they get deductions from their HB, they will be taking from their younger DC to support their older DC, they can't put their DC's into Hostels (who will pay their rent? HB won't help...), and they are petrified already when their DC's are only 14yo.
It's yet another perfect shit-storm this Government are creating, without looking at the root causes of Poverty.
Maybe tackling the education system, and ensuring that all children get an Outstanding education, which includes putting LOTS more funding in for remedial work, and doing it in KS1, and KS2, catching those that struggle with literacy/numeracy early when problems can be rectified quickly without parents having to know that they have to fight for every second of help from the LEA and NHS, and helping those whose parents DON'T know that regardless, would be a good start. If all DC left KS1 with basic literacy and numeracy skills, that were built on through KS2, then maybe things could be fixed.
But no-one rich, who sends their DC's to Private Schools, is going to want to pay MORE taxes to ensure that other people's DC's can have an education that ENSURES that they are employable, are they?
And employers may all pay lip service to the DDA and the Equality Act, but in reality, as a boss, if you are hiring for an entry level job, and you get two applicants for an unskilled job, who both got 'U's at GCSE, and one has multiple health issues and also has Autism, and the other applicant is fit and healthy, just happened to get 'U's at GCSE, WHO WOULD YOU EMPLOY?
It wouldn't be sound business sense to employ the person with disabilities OVER the healthy applicant, would it? Still leaves a YP that us unable to support themselves, who is also unsupported by the Government. And not all of their parents can bear those costs...
