Working

If the person with dementia is still working and is experiencing any difficulties in their job, they should talk to their employer or get advice as soon as possible, see Living with dementia booklet 1509, Employment, and Factsheet 471, After a diagnosis.

There are various benefits that may be available for people who cannot work due to dementia, see Factsheet 413, Benefits.

Younger people with dementia are more likely to still be in work when they receive a diagnosis, see Factsheet 440, Younger people with dementia.
