Advice needed on what to do re DH and work

2 replies

DH is a taxi driver and recently had an angiogram, with another one said to be scheduled in about 2 months. As he is a taxi driver, he cannot work for 6 weeks after an angiogram. This means he cannot work for 12 weeks, which we cannot afford. He is trying to look for alternative jobs but its difficult as he would need a break just after starting for the 2nd angiogram, and would leave quickly to go back to taxi. How to deal with this financially? I am a carer to my profoundly disabled DS, although i could start up by ebay business on the side.

You need to contact Citizens Advice and ask for benefits help. I'm sure you should be able to get something to tide you over but you need to be quick. UC, for instance, don't pay for the first five weeks.

We already are on UC not sure how this would affect it
