Hi I am currently receiving jobseekers allowance and am on the casual dockets. My query relates to the fact if I was to apply for disability benefit and was accepted what type of work I could do. I believe you can work up to twenty hours a week. I am in my late thirties and suffered from mental illness for over twenty years and have never been able to hold down a full time job.
