If you have to jump through those hoops, you have to jump through them. Any support would be helpful to me, getting a job. I don't know about the UK system or mental health issues when getting jobs there but I have a friend who's quadriplegic here in the US and the system trained him and helped him get a good job, etc. and he's great when he can get a job. Problem is he doesn't have much hand/arm control so is "slow" even with tools to help him (he's a draftsman) so when there is an economic downturn like now, he's usually the first to be let go.

I would welcome a job if I needed one and they were going to train me, etc. I'd rather work than not, even with mental issues. If things get worse/one can't deal with one's problems, they're going to get worse anyway and that can be dealt with when it happens rather than at the start. If you're curious and the opportunity is offered, go for it is what I'd do!
