@Ann When will the government realise that they save an awful lot of money with carers looking after their loved ones, but they need a break!
I have had no help with OH since he came home from hospital albeit he
is capable of much more than was first thought and now have the Mother to deal with too.
Everything is so hard to arrange, and so expensive, and there is no sign of an improvement in any way. Let's face it, £70 a week for carer's allowance (you have to prove you do over 35 hours a week to claim and earn less than £130 in wages) is ridiculous when I have been quoted £40 an hour for home help!
I do hope you are able to get some support soon
