Hi there
I am new. I am 62 and have MS, PTSD and dyslexia. I am an unpaid carer for my daughter (27) who has MS and ADD and my son (17) who is Autistic. Can anyone tell me if there is any funding etc that I can get please. For those who do not know I am not entitle to Carers benefit as I claim PIP and ESA. Catch 22 isn’t it? In June next year My son who I adopted, turns 18 where all the credits I receive for him stop bar his PIP. This amounts to half my income. I know that I can get him ESA. The amount from this that I would put towards the house will not cover the outgoings. I could sell up but am loath to do so. My daughter is going into sheltered housing in the near future.
Thank you all
Sharon
