    We too are scared how we are going to cope. Hubby gets pip, IIB and I'm his carer.

    He works 0-5 hours a week and me 1 day. And we struggle already.

    Last winter we sat without heating and only used it if the grandchildren came around. Really isn't the standard of life we expected.

    He only got pip a year ago after being very ill . He became disabled 40+ yrs ago but was too proud to apply before and now this. His depression and anxiety has hit rock bottom.
