[QUOTE="jayne15, post: 441283, member: 50743"] Join your local carers support- they will be able to offer advise on benefits and offer financial advise without you feeling a fraud. My understanding is that if you earn £100 or less a week you are still entitled to carers allowance. Your ex will have a duty to support both your children whilst they are in full time education and you will be entitled to child benefit to both kids whilst they are both in full time education. The carers support will be able to advise further. In terms of your sons management he really does need to become more independent and self sufficient (without patronizing you) Meg age 8 if needed can make her own snacks (toast, cereals scrambled eggs ect) and can manage most other aspects of her diabetes- injections/ blood testing and treating hypos ect shes been diagnosed 1 year.Its time to reevaluate, its time for you to get some of your life back, diabetes should fit in around you and not the other way, £800 mortgage id remortgage or sell it I couldn't afford that and we are both working full time. take care and let us know how you get on.
