keep employment despite their disabilities. These payments are made
as part of three special schemes. These are the
1) business on own account scheme, which can help people with
disabilities to set up in business if they are unlikely otherwise
to be able to work
2) personal reader service scheme, which enables a blind
person to employ a reader
3) fares to work scheme, which assists certain people with
disabilities who are unable to travel to work by public transport.
Disregard in full any payments of income (other than a
training allowance - DMG27001 et seq) made under the Disabled
Persons Employment Act
