BTW Caroline is a single mother with 4 kids so can you imagine the effort it must take to get to work by 5.30am? I would imagine she is getting Income Support too but she is trying to get herself off benefits and I do think it is sad that staff doing these vital jobs are treated so badly. This is not a ‘one off’ as have had similar conversations with staff over the years. Being told they have to come in to cover on their day off. Several have just walked out due to the stress and rudeness of the customers.

As a Former carer, I think many people will suffer. I disagree with the Government. They need to pay all carers a lot more . Yes the welfare system needs to be re vamped. But i have a friend, who cant do a days works as she has osteo porerosis & cant walk or drive. is housebound. she is 66 & is on pips. . I myself am retired but an on attendance allowance as i have severe anxiety & osteoarthritis of hips & knees. . sorry rant over
