Hi @Nixandy
Just wondered if you have seen that there is lots of information about employment on the Scope website: https://www.scope.org.uk/support/disabled-people/work including our 'Support to Work' scheme: https://www.scope.org.uk/support/services/employment/support-work
Also do you know about the UK support organisation for people with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome : https://www.ehlers-danlos.org/ ?
Best Wishes
