My LO has been with me just under 2 years, he'll be 6 in Sept. He is gorgeous and I love him but dealing with his behaviour is a struggle. He hits and kicks out, bites and pulls my hair when he gets dysregulated. I reduced work down to four days a week a few months ago but it was still too much so I've been signed off sick with stress for the last month. I get a top up from universal credit every month and my son is receipt of DLA so I didn't think I'd be entitled to anything else but my new social worker has sent forms for adoption Allowance, for now and also if I need to reduce my hours or even give up work. Has anyone else been in this situation before? I, generally, enjoy my job so don't want to give it up.
