I have been asked to sit on Plus Dane Housing Association - Customer Assurance Panel. This involves 8 annual teams meetings for which I would be expected to read and understand a briefing pack. There are also 2 awaydays visiting sites in the estate of Plus Dane Housing Association.
I am recieving PIP high rate care and mobility, UC and new style ESA.
My question is - in the current climate of demonisation of those of us with disabilities would this voluntary unpaid role be considered evidence of ability to work? I would so much like to be able to "put something back' but fear The department of W&P reaction. Time was this would be encouraged and considered therapeutic. Sad how times have changed.
