Hello Christine, sorry things are such a struggle for you. You need some benefit advice. You could start by ringing citizens advice helpline. The government website as info on benefits. Is your husband planning to go back to work? he can claim DLA and work you know?? If your health is affected it may be that you look at giving up work for a while…you maybe able to claim carers allowance, depends on your savings and income. I’m no expert so give citizen advice a ring for a start maybe. Once you get the information, you will be better equipped to make the right decisions. Good luck Hopefully Someone else may offer more info x
