    Hi, I've an LTI and am hoping to get some part time work. Would it be advisable to make employers aware of the wage subsidy scheme in a cover letter when applying for a job? I'm currently attending meetings with an employability officer for the last 4 months but nothing seems to be happening. I need to get the edge over regular applicants.

    This isn't really the correct forum for your question but it does affect me as well. I think the proper answer is yes but I have never done it myself. I have a concern that if I highlight my condition it will harm my chances of gaining employment. My condition is for the most part static so I'm not acutely unwell. Therefore from an employers perspective theres really only a need for awareness.

    I think this is something you should ask your job coach, I know mine does mention it as she thinks its a sweetener in securing a job but my personal experience os different.
