PEOPLE in Worcestershire and Herefordshire who are on disability benefit and want to get into work, can now call a special number.

The national Freephone number advises people on the support and advice available in their area.

The Government's New Deal for Disabled People offers nationwide job broking services to help people on disability benefits explore their work options.

"All people have to do is ring one number, free of charge, and they will be given information about a local job broker offering dedicated advice and support," said a spokesman.

The telephone number is 0800 137 177 or text phone: 0800 435 550.
