@Mremma14567 Check out ADA American Disabilities Act that they could violate ADA for not hiring disabilities. I am trying to think of something you should do like checking out with EEO that is Employment Equal Opportunities and file complaints against some jobs that told you they don't hire any disability. Hope that works for you...If I hear from you again, I will check it out on other options. Thanks

I don't live in the UK, but I need help to get employment. I've tried ALL of the government agencies and they say "just apply". I've applied for thousands of jobs and I get screamed at "WE DON'T HIRE THE DISABLED!!!" - literally. I'm starving and freezing - literally. I NEED A WAY TO SURVIVE. What do I do?
