If I come off disability, can I go back on?

    I just want to explain a lil, I was abused by my relatives. I am 25 now and was unable to get away from them until 1 year ago. I was told never to go to college, to just help the family at home and the only thing I am good for is disability. I don't want to be on welfare anymore. However I am terrified, I was always told that if I come off I can never go back.
    I am legitly needing it still but I hope to work through that. I am bipolar, PTSD, C-PTSD and anxiety. It results in me not leaving the house unless with someone.

    I don't know what I can do for a job as I only have the leaving cert. I am holding myself back with fear that if I fail, if my bipolar ****s everything up then what do I do?

    Do you know you can work and earn €120 per week and still keep all your disability?
    You just have to write to Disability section and tell them you are working and send them a letter from your doctor saying that having a part time job is beneficial to you
    Do you have a social worker?
    Your local Citizens Information Centre will help you
    I hope you find something
    I really admire you. You've got real guts. You never see that anymore
    Just people moaning and whining about nothing
