Hi my name is Sharon I am 49 and my son is 17 and has ASD. I also care for my mom who lives with us who is 90. I am stressing at the moment as I have to send 8 years worth of payslips off to DWP regarding my carers allowance it has been a nightmare finding them or printing them off my companys site I have used 3 lots of ink!
