I distinctly remember you having a stock job that you quit because of the work being too difficult for your disability. If I'm remembering that incorrectly then I apologize.

I was volunteering for a charity that I had to pack in due to heath reasons because it contained a lot of heavy lifting. I now volunteer as an administrator for a charity for the blind. I'm proud to be doing something to help a cause I believe in, and it's relevant to my realistic job target. If I'm still unemployed when I leave the work programme in a year, then I'll be forced to quit it to work in an unpaid role that's irrelevant to me where I can get no experience towards any job suitable for me.

If the situation truly is that bad, then you do need to move. You need to not spend a single penny that isn't necessary, and move.

Kind of irrelevant, but I can't move. This household has to either have one person in paid employment or neither me nor my brother living to make the figures balance and not plunge my mother into poverty. I eat like a bird (Food that I buy myself) and the only electric I use is for my laptop. If I left, then my mother would get £20 less a week rent and would get 14% less housing benefit because of the bedroom tax. The only way to keep my mother out of poverty is if either both myself and my brother lived and worked here, or we both moved and she applied for single bedroom social housing. This is even assuming I could afford to take such a huge risk.

How did I get the experience? I got it by busting my ass, and getting jobs. You can call it congratulatory if you want, and maybe it is, but it's also true.
|
My point is that your job got you your reputation and work ethic, not the other way round. At least to begin with.

but I also understand that after a certain point, the help has to stop, and that person needs a bit of a harder shove in the right direction.

I'll say this again and again. There are more people than there are jobs. If the percentage of unemployed people is rounded up to 7%, then there's 1.075 people going for every 1 job. The logical conclusion to your argument is 7/100 people should suffer no life before being made homeless because they couldn't shove the next person off the rung ahead of them. Unless the unemployment figure drops, these 7 people will always exist. If they get jobs, seven more jobless will take their place. You're advocating culling the population because the economy isn't good enough. Slapping them into forced labour isn't going to help that shit
