My aunt passed away 6th April and I informed both the carers allowance and universal credit that she had been in hospital and then passed away on the 7th, a few hours later in my journal I had app for 10th to review my work commitments! I managed to move this to 14th and was there yesterday where I was informed of all the commitments I must complete etc but my question is as the carers allowance continues for a further 8 weeks after someone has died should this not also allow me breathing space on my UC looking for work commitments ? I just feel it is too soon I am completely overwhelmed and exhausted after these last 6 months after my aunt was diagnosed with lung cancer and that mentally I would not be any good to anyone if I was to get a job.
