Why is it made such an elusive process when speaking with local government administrators to access a Carers Assessment for Wellbeing - it seems to be a very odd conversation where the applicant the Carer is put under suspicion. Having being a long term full time Unpaid Carer and all the many hoops that I’ve already jumped through with all the red tape attached just isn’t enough - it borders on discrimination and is soul destroying/demoralising I’ve never experienced anything like it being treated and spoken down to as if your second class and really shouldn’t be wanting or needing any support especially if it’s financial as far as I’m aware central government has made provision particularly in my case I have been an Unpaid Carer for over a decade so I must be factored into the funding by now as I am truly on the radar but when it comes to dealing with the local government the whole process is made as difficult as possible with HIDDEN elusive goalposts very draining and lacks all integrity. Please can anyone shine a light on the very much hidden criteria in order to get some well-being support thanking you in advance
This sounds very worrying, and frankly an insult when carers have been left to do so much more because of Covid etc.
How was your interview conducted.
They are supposed to discuss with you what you want in the way of support for your caring role.
What sort of things were they saying to you???
Who are you caring for?
We have a right NOT to care.
