To ask if the ‘working from home’ jobs you see online are actually decent?

[ritaBx]

I am a single mum of 3 children and work part time in a primary school.

My eldest son is autistic. He gets DLA and I am his carer meaning I also get carers allowance as well as my wage from working part time.

My job fits around my kids/home life and I work with some lovely people, I’ve found it’s done my mental health the world of good - plus it’s only 3 minutes away from my house. I want to keep my job if it all possible.

My eldest soon is turning 16 in a few months and I have absolutely convinced myself that he won’t be eligible for PIP meaning we are going to be finically hit. Especially with the new planned changes - I’m obviously going to apply for it for him but I need to be prepared incase it gets declined.

My son will lose his DLA meaning his will lose his weekly outing with his PA - which is what the majority of his DLA goes on and I will lose Carers allowance and the disability part of universal credit - roughly a £1000 a month worse off.

While I can make cuts elsewhere to try claw some of it back and also ask for extra hours at work (there’s nothing going at the moment) im wondering if there’s any ‘working from home’ jobs that I can do? Does anyone do it?

As I’ve said already, I really want to keep my school job if I can. Also just because I highly doubt my son will be able to claim PIP, his needs won’t change so I need to find a way to earn extra money from home ideally. Working nights and weekends aren’t really an option as i just don’t have the childcare unfortunately.

I’d also love to be able to afford to keep my son going on his weekly visits with his PA but there’s absolutely no way I will be able too without his PIP.

Weve got a few months yet but just trying to plan in advance. It’s so hard dealing with on my own, I feel like I’ve got the weight of the world on my shoulders. I do get maintenance from my children’s father but I know he would refuse to pay anymore (it’s already done through CMS) . He’s extremely abusive and he would love nothing more than to see mw struggle. I’d rather not go there.

Thank you

dataannotation.tech is great (if you pass the test to get in). Just do it whenever you want sat on your couch. You do need to concentrate though with no distractions.

I'd imagine they're not as good as they seem otherwise they would be filled quickly and permanently.

My son also ASD and adhd. I didn't expect him to get PIP especially because he told them he can do everything and look after himself which is a million miles from the truth. I corrected as much as I could, but expected them to believe him. He got it anyway, until he's 21. So hopefully it'll go better than you ex9.

Thank you - my son is similar and even though he has an EHCP and a PA, he is very confident. I’ve asked on a few Facebook groups and been told he has no chance of claiming it, even though he’s on hrc now for DLA.

It’s nice to hear a positive story!

I’ll look into that, thank you

How long did it take you to get approved? Did the entrance exam last night

I've been signed up to this for 2 years and have never been given a project :(
