If you are under pension age and capable of working, Jobseeker's Allowance can give you a weekly income while you look for work. Advisers at your local Job Centre office will give you ongoing help with your job search. If you need specialist advice due to an illness or disability, ask to see a Disablement Employment Adviser.

The Access to Work (NI) programme provides support to disabled people and their employers to help overcome work-related obstacles resulting from a disability. Ask to speak to a disability employment advisor for more information. You can also find out about the scheme at www.nidirect.gov.uk/people-with-disabilities
