Dh is pretty despondent about all this but I am trying to remain positive.
We need to move house.
I had been looking into options but something a close friend has said has given me pause to wonder whether we are being entitled even asking if we can. I'm not even sure it's possible.
So as not to drip feed here are the details:
We are currently in a 3 bed with two medium sized bedrooms and a box room. There is our bedroom, dd's bedroom, dsd's (50/50 care) bedroom.
We have a mortgage. I am dh's carer. We get income support and council tax benefit as well as disability benefits.
Dh is disabled, it's never going to get better. He is on the high rate of Pip.
Our daughter has autism and is also on the highest rate of the care component of dla. She needs her own room.
Ds is in our room at the minute but he is fast outgrowing his side cot.
I can't fit a full size cot in our room or in dsd's box room. Dd is very aggressive during the night so he can't go in her room.
So we are stuck and need another bedroom.
I was looking in to mortgage brokers and was about to ask the cab for advice but it got back to me that my friend had been going on to everyone about how selfish and entitled we were thinking about using benefits to get a larger house.
Are we?
