DD severely disabled. How can she make money from home?

[Lele101]

My daughter doesn’t claim anything at all, my mil has money and has been financially supporting her essentials. Rent/bills/food

but my daughter wants to make her own money. At least like a side hustle. Any work from home jobs.

she finished school with GCSE’s and doesn’t have any qualifications.

She recently became disabled. She can rarely leave the house and doctors think it’s going to be a at least a few years till she can walk/move her body much again.

do you guys have any ideas?

Please encourage her to claim asap - this is why Pip & other benefits are there.

Sorry what does la stand for?

Iron and fold, put on hangers, put the clothes somewhere. Bags of unironed and ironed clothes to get in and out.

Or is that all done magically?

Local authority = LA

also is there a charity for her disability, disability specific charities can be very helpful with info re benefits and pip application

how old is she?

How old is she?

The open university is your best bet.

She could do an access course with learndirect. No exams and it's recognised by most universities.

I’m guessing her mother may assist

On the last thread I was on with you Op, you were applying for PIP for your daughter…. Is it ongoing or rejected?

There are plenty of online a level courses. The main issue would come when she needs to take an exam.

Definitely get her to claim PIP (Personal independence payment) as this will give her additional income, but also give her access to a disabled student grant to subsidise her studies).
I'd encourage her to see her local careers advisory service as they will be able to go though her options.
What did she want to do before she became disabled? Is it still possible?

How old is she OP?

Side hustle - consider paid surveys? I use Prolific. Its not a living but it's low stress and a bit of pocket money which can be done alongside study etc.

monzo allow entirely work from home, but training is in person I believe.

Help her apply for the Disability Living Allowance and you should consider applying for Carer's Allowance and a Blue Badge, as a start. If she's 16, she may also be able to claim Universal Credit. It's lovely that her grandmother is financially supporting her, but this is a long-term situation and you should be getting all the help you can.

I think I would encourage further education rather than work (or a combination of the two), but if she would prefer just to work, can she type? Depending on how her disability affects her, she could do audio transcription work from home, or a call centre type job (customer service) from home.

You can do A levels from home. You can even sit exams from home.

Depending on DD’s age, have you/DD requested an EHCNA from the local authority? An EHCP can provide support for education at home. It can also provide things like physio and OT.

She, or an appointee on her behalf, should also claim PIP and UC.

If she wants to study there are quite a lot of online only options.

OU access courses .Free for income below 25k https://www.open.ac.uk/courses/choose/ppcaccess?ps_kw=access%20uni%20course&cid=sem-1918274588&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADkR2BF-HDPOpOrXb9GTEKeMNaTO7&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9LDsv9fDjAMVwqJQBh3zLjnPEAAYAiAAEgI0X_D_BwE

It might be easier if you said what she does day to say at home for people to suggest options. You need to say how old she is and also what her longer term aims are when she recovers.

@Lele101

I'm curious as to why you dont answer any of the questions about benefits. If your daughter is entitled to them then you should and must claim them. They are there to help.

Why won’t she apply for PIP? It’s an in work benefit.

I think because PIP was rejected given fact that op was talking extensively about the benefit process and applying for pip for her daughter

nor does the op want to answer any question that would actually help with suggestions

National Extenstion College is a certified online a-level provider. The student works at their own pace and engages with lessons and tutors online. If your daughter is under 25 you may wish to apply for an EHCP to request the additional support and funding. If you do not have an EHCP there are possible payment plans and loans. The cost is reasonable for A-levels in comparison to other providers.

I don't think this is the thread for you really I mean you have no clue what you are talking about, or what the op dd has Sit down ironing (sigh)

The info needed to help is missing and being asked for.

age for a start.
also about why you haven’t applied for benefits.
Also I would like to know what wheelchair she has. Has the house been adapted so she can get in and out.

If she’s so severely disabled she can hardly live she should have a care package, OT, wheelchair services involved and they can direct you to local services who can support your DD to attend education (who lasts until 25) or support in employment with reasonable adjustments from an employer.

Local authority. In your case might be considered within home education or education otherwise , depending on your child's age
