‘The Government has launched a consultation on disability and work. They want to understand how to improve the system so that more disabled people who want to are able to get in and stay in work. This includes autism. We know work isn’t right for everyone, and this consultation also covers benefits around work.
It’s important they hear from you to make sure autism doesn’t get ignored in this.
For information on the Department of Health website, and to comment on the consultation, go to:

The consultation closes on 17th February 2017.’
