Hi, my name is Sanzy!

edited October 13 in Benefits and financial support
I am here because I have two aged disabled parents, myither has Alzheimer's and my dad has chronic pain from a crumbling spine and arthritis. 

I am looking for help and advice as I have become their live-in carer. I came off ESA 18 months ago and have had financial problems since.

    Please bear with us and keep in touch.
