Hi @cathrin. Welcome to the Scope Online Community.
I am sorry to hear about your struggles.
You may want to have a look through our many discussions around parents and carers.
We are glad you are here with us.
Was there a specific question that you need assistance with?

Hi @cathrin welcome to the community. Does your child have a diagnosis as to why they are incontinent? It must be really tough for you both, can you let us know a bit more and I can see if I can find you any information and support?

Hello cathrin
Does your daughter receive Disability Living Allowance (DLA)? I ask as this is a benefit that can recognise the difficulties that a child may be going through, and depending on if and what rate is awarded you may then be recognised as a carer for benefit purposes and receive additional income.
Both DLA and Carers Allowance are non-means tested benefits which means that it des not matter what your household income is to qualify for benefit. Please keep us posted.
