I'm unable to work anymore due to my faulty body. I don't qualify for WINZ as my partner earns too much, but not quite enough to support both of us comfortably on one income. I wouldn't mind trying to work so we can afford rent, but all of the disabled finding work programmes seem to be solely through WINZ and you can't use them if you're not on the benefit. I've tried applying for jobs but I do need to declare my disabilities straight off the bat as I can't be expected to do things an able bodied person can do, which has lead to no job offers.
Is there any kind of support for people like me? Earn too much for WINZ but not enough to be secure. And I can't go on ACC. I feel stuck and hopeless.
