Hi my name is Tim,
I look after my wife who has fibromyalgia plus other illnesses that go with it for the past 11 years, through her good days and her bad. Seeing her cope with her pain every day and not being able to do anything about it and seeing her exhausted just sitting and watching a little tv is so upsetting. She’s not even elderly she used to be so vibrant and full of life. The problem is I used to care for my mum as well until she died in 2012 and I’ve not had a break since. I need to go away just for a few days to clear my head and breathe. However with the state the benefits are it’s so difficult to get the money together. Can anyone suggest away for me to get these 3 vital nights away so I can breathe again, clear my head and come back revitalised for my wife.
This is quite understandable. When did you last have a Carers Assessment from Social Services?
After a battle Know have some things funded. Each LA seems to do Carers Grants differently.
