I am a carer and juggle full time work but who cares for me, Carers assessment waste of time a) have to book annual leave to attend, b) they cannot do anything as managing the daily juggle. I am lucky mum does not need personal care and is bright but has arthritis and registered blind. I saved very hard for holiday last year but not again because the cost of home care no financial support and it took three months to plan as had to ring numerous care agencies and try and get a package in place for week while away. It worked out in the end but the whole experience and cost has put me right off.
I just mange on my income and mums pension but I am a JAM just managing energy costs high, lost carers element on council tax this year due to welfare cuts, I have a small mortgage we cannot move or sell to improve the situation as she furniture walks in the home and knows where everything in if we moved she would lose her independence which would be dreadful and not give her the dignity.
Yes I moan but life is a great struggle and tiresome at times there is no pleasure it is is about living day by day
