It would be interesting to flush a few of them out from deep cover and find out why they are so shy. I'm not shy, i have social anxiety disorder caused by a lack of social interaction due to me being at home all the time caring for my wife. I find it difficult to make conversation both face to face...

I don't like winter much and my wife hates the cold, but i do like the snow, it's nice to see snow falling and everything covered white and i enjoy making snowmen. It's ok for a couple of days but any longer and it becomes a problem as many of you will know, wheelchairs don't go in snow.

We have short pile carpet with underlay in the hallway, living room and bedroom of our bungalow and have no problem with manoeuvring the manual wheelchair over it.

Maybe we should petition George Osborne and make it clear that as carers we do not want to be classed as workless and that if carers are to be classed as workless then we will all seek employment and leave the caring to the nhs, social services etc which will cost the treasury billions.

Theres been plenty of comments about this on the facebook page.

Hi all and conditional on working 35 hours per week all for £53 ..... How many carers care for their carees just 35 hours a week? Even if we're not actually caring for our carees we still have to be there for them just in case they need us. What i don't understand is, my wife stopped having medical...

So, with a general election looming, i am wondering which party is best to vote for with regards to people with disabilities, carers and benefits?

Yes my carers allowance went in the bank yesterday, also got my £10 christmas bonus last week.
