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?

Well it’s not invisible is it?

You also described ASD as an I viable disability. For some they won’t “look autistic”. For some people they are who they are and they will be stimming and wearing ear defenders etc in public.

invisible disability is a word that’s been adopted for those poor disabled people who need to justify the existence of their disability to abilist people who are just ignorant.

You wouldn’t look at my ds and immediately know he’s disabled.

It’s not an invisible disability though.

it’s neurological and degenerative.

The whole expression is used incorrectly. The disability isn’t invisible.
The disability just isn’t walking around showing itself because being disabled isn’t a spectator sport.

OP, you said your dd cannot move her body much but I assume she can manipulate a keyboard.

This is not a future career but gives the opportunity to earn some cash from home.

You can do A levels online and not have to attend college.

I'm sorry but reading your other post s it looks as if your DD has never worked.
You've or she has been supported by your MIL.

I'm sure this is hard for to discuss but what can she do and can't do?
Is she immobile in a wheelchair?
Can she use a computer?
Does she live with you or on her own?

Apply for PIP - citizen advice or another welfare organisation may be able help to help.
The system has not changed now. If she thinks (or citizens advice adviser) thinks she scores the points challenge within a month and then appeal. This is often successful.
She needs to claim Universal Credit or if she has savings credits only ESA. Even if she doesn’t want the money she may need the NI credits in future towards state pension (I know at 25 the system may have changed by then but NI is part of it now).

Citizens Advice PIP includes links to table of descriptiors and meaning. This page is for England

Op my kids have gotten pip and dla easily with an invisible disability. You need proper advice and I'd say as your wider family may not be the most helpful, keep any info about getting pip quiet.
Also is severely accurate? Her brain is functioning enough to pass her gcses with excellent grades. So she has no learning disability

Look up skills council or contact national careers service. They are available to everyone now.

Ignore the noise about the benefit changes they haven't even gone through parliament yet and aren't due to come in for over 18 months.

It's ironic they're trying ro save 5 billion on the benefits bill yet 23 billion goes unclaimed.

No she has. It was very physical job on feet all day. I just dont want to post too much identifying info on here.

she can use the computer and lives with me.

Op I sympathise with your daughter.

my DD is also disabled, currently finishing her final year at university and has had support from the disabled students allowance.

she has also been put off claiming pip by the massive outcry against young disabled people “scrounging off the state”.

The Open university offer access courses which can then lead to a degree. It will take 7 years in total - 1 year access and 6 years degree. She can apply for a student loan to fund it. They are very supportive of disabilities and it’s all online. If she chooses the right courses then it could lead to a job that she could do from home.

Well that is the language that lots of people with invisible disabilities choose to use. I don't have a disability but I did work for a disability charity and this was how many of our 'service users' chose to speak about their disabilities.

She lives with you but her MiL funds her?

Yes.

not her mil, her grandmother , my mil

It's horrendous disabled people especially young disabled people have been "scroungers" since the year dot ! I'm in my 50s I've been hearing this forever and really attitudes haven't changed, sadly.

@Lele101 you can get A levels without being attached to a college, I did. You can pay a school to let you sit the exams and coursework there as an external candidate

I think it’s just a bit difficult to understand. Whether she has any transferable or recent skills or experience , because they’re obviously hugely important in getting a job.

Having GCSEs at the age of 25 isn’t really any sort of job hunting advantage, I just think people are trying to work out what to suggest

Coursera have free online courses in things like computer programming that can lead to v good jobs if you are good at it

prolific is a website that pays £10 per hour or so for completing surveys from home so good for instant money

Plenty other threads to be a sarcastic comedian. And I use comedian loosely.

There is nothing wrong to advocate for her benefits and send her to school , even if it is online. If she wants to work, she will work. A desk and remote job seems good future for her. Try your LA , home education, online college, whatever the situation requires. There are options available

Don't know if it's been suggested already but there's a Facebook page (and I think Instagram) called The Work From Home Hub.
There's a lot of jobs where there are some days at an office but there are rare ones where they are completely wfh. So it'd be handy to keep an eye on there.

Your daughter needs to claim benefits as she will get credits paid for her future pension , Genuine applicants with medical evidence will surely be entitled to benefits and as this is a rare and possibly long term issue it needs to be sorted , maybe visit the citizens advice or benefit office . Does your mil fund her because she doesn’t want her to apply for benefits? X

She probably should do an access course online and then an online university degree. In ucas website you can see all the degrees and shorter hnc or hnd that are online. There are lots of universities that offer online courses, not just the open university. Another choice is studying to be portfolio ready, for example in the website tryhackme for a cyber qualification, or using udemy, or motion design school, or 3d art academies, or music production colleges like hofa college for audio production . Lots of choices out there but she will need money. Try hack me is really cheap though and free code camp is free for coding , and udemy has good training in 3d or ux design for example if she can't afford a proper academy. For video editing or any adobe courses also udemy would work I think. DaVinci Resolve has their own courses and books. For game related jobs and training you can find info in the into games website.

She needs to make a claim for PIP.

I did a biology A-level via the National Extension College, it was very good.
