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?

Have a look here OP for online learning https://thinkstudent.co.uk/best-online-a-level-courses/

Can she try learning coding or web design using AI? I'm sure having time to learn would be a real asset there.

Given that she's 25 I'd look at Open University courses as well as at A levels. OU is designed for remote study and has few formal entrance requirements ie. she wouldn't need A levels or an access course to start there.

There are a few charities for spinal cord injury (causing paralysis) such as Aspire of Backup who have careers advice. They would help regardless of diagnosis. Typical careers include IT, finance, editors, using voice activated tech, working from home.

I would make an appointment with CAB to look at Universal Credit (with LWCRA) and PIP. If her condition is as bad as you say, she’ll have evidence from doctors ect which will help with a claim.

@Lele101 hi op i honestly don’t know how useful this will be but tonight on my FB a post popped up listing websites for home/remote working. Screenshots of the websites @

Wow we are put in a very bad light . The new p.i.p. rules don't change untill 2026 . If you have a diagnoses on paper that's great . While your lovely daughter is not on universal credit she could lose out on her state pension . Every thing on TV and in the papers is very um glorified. Possibly a chat with our job centre adviser would help you have nothing to lose so much to gain many p.i.p. or esa people do work with help plus further education and help to live at home transport etc . To start why not just have a chat with our jobcentre people they won't be nasty they are there to support . Most bad stories are over rated .If your dear 25 year old wants to work she can plus she gets her own money as well. The sooner you look into it for her or with her the more help she can get please try . Nothing to lose dwp

Apologies, haven’t read the whole thread. Seems like she’d be suitable for a skills bootcamp… especially if it is a computer course… I believe they are mainly online. The govt website is quite helpful

lots of digital jobs are fully online so she could wfh.

There are loads of courses, free that she could do from home.

You HAVE the shock factor that the media WANT

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.

Try it. Getting all the clothes in one place, erecting ironing board, getting water to fill iron, iron clothes, hang them up somewhere, empty iron, put ironing board away.

Are you serious?

Open university is online only now and you don’t need a levels.
