Mr. Anthony Redmond:

If people with disabilities do full-time work, they lose half their disability allowance payment. In some regards, it is true that people get more from the experience, but the problem is we lose the benefits. This is not all about the money. Also important are the additional benefits and entitlements in this regard. I refer to a person with a disability going into full-time employment and losing his or her entitlements. That is why I do not want full-time employment. The problem lies in trying to find part-time work these days. It is harder to do now more than ever.

In addition, if someone's family has illnesses and so on, that person has to look after them independently in addition to himself or herself. The life change is more emotional for people when they are trying to find a job. If they find a job, they do not know if the hours will be the best or the work environment will be suited to their needs and so on.
