Hello,
could anybody advice me what to do in this situation?
could anybody advice me what to do in this situation?
I was receiving carers allowance as my my son in in receipt of pip and before that DLA. He’s 17 now so I decided to take a job that pays NMW for 37 hours a week. I informed carers allowance and they said they would get back to me. I’ve not heard from them yet.
unfortunately, the job turned out to be too stressful for me (had a stroke 2 years ago) and I was tired and overwhelmed. My son also was affected as family members had to take over school drops and other care responsibilities. I did 2 weeks on the job and 1 day and I had to leave. I feel such a failure 😞
Would it be possible for me to reinstate carers allowance? Should I call them and tell them I’m not working now or will they insist I get another job? I plan to do part time work in the future. The company said they would pay me for the time worked but don’t know if it will be this month.
