Another Newbie

[Guest]

Hi,

I am currently 35 and have had to recently leave full time work and care for my wife who suffers from severe depression and my two young children. I am so stressed and worried about coming out of full time work for the first time ever , and leaving my family without an income but couldnt carry on juggling work, carer and parent roles.

Regards,

Ian

Hi Ian,

Welcome to the forum. Have you had your entitlement to benefits checked? Requested a carers assessment to see if you qualify for outside help to come in?
