Amanda did not talk about
benefits her focus is work.

HIDDEN IMPAIRMENT
Mencap and Autism Alliance
UK are helping the DWP to
develop a Hidden
Impairment toolkit which will
be available to every Job
Centre Staff.
Amanda also thinks it is
possible that the Forums
could get a place on the
Hidden Impairment National

Amanda updated us about
changes to Disability
Advisor Posts within the
DWP.
Under Universal Credit
every one will be assigned
a work coach.
Amanda is advocating for a
Specialist role within the
work coach model

Department for Work and

Amanda said that the DWP
were going to determine
LEARNING DISABILITY.
We need to know more
about this,
How are they going to do it?
Is it another medical?
Another assessment?
Or what?
