Employment Transition Assistance

Employment Transition Assistance is a weekly payment you can get if you've completed a Supported Living Payment Employment Trial.

Who can get it

You may get an Employment Transition Assistance if you:

  • have completed a Supported Living Payment Employment Trial
  • can no longer get a Supported Living Payment
  • are earning less than the Supported Living Payment after completing the trial
  • regularly work 15 hours or more per week (not in sheltered employment)
  • can’t carry on working these hours without this payment.

It also depends on how much you and your partner earn.
