Job Seekers?

[want2sleep]

Because ds is mainly HE as part of SEN does this mean because ds is now over 5yrs I will be moved from Income Support to Job Seekers? It says on BUDGET today.....this is not right I will lose my home as cant afford mortgage and cant work(would love to finished my degree at 8 months pregnant should have second home in France and mortgage paid when ds 8 but ds had the MMR and BANG....lost ds lost our future)
If I return to work I will be sacked within 3 weeks due to level of input which is expected off me (manager of HP; interview/supervise/train/wages/resouces/put programmes together/taxi driver/tea lady/cleaner/cook/health safety/I have to do therapy when tutors sick or absent/several appoints every few weeks so not enough annual leave to cover this also!

Anyone know if JS is now the case? If so how does it change my situation as I want to but cant work.

want to sleep do you get dla for ds and or carers?

if you get carers allowance it protects you from the going back to work issue

yep though i still get called in for the annual 2 month lets see if we can get you back to work , keep saying oh yes please tea breaks and a lunch break

If you get DLA/Carers, the rules are different. You can stay on IS as a carer, not just as a lone parent. You usually get called in twice a year for a Back to Work interview but that is just to check whether you need support returning to work, not pressuring you to do so.

roundthebend do you get called in every two months? i thought its meant to be every 6 months for a work focussed interview?

yep i do even though inform them i do work already for the goverment ..

But oh for a lunch breaK

i think they make up their own rules, someone once told me they got called in every 6 weeks but i just thought they were getting their weeks and months mixed up but now im not so sure!!

yep im not allowed go to nearest job centre 4 miles up road as thats Essex , they shut nearest one to me in herts down big town to I now need get 2 trains or 2 buses or once passed test its 30 min drive

nothing like making it easy for you eh? seems daft you wont let you go to the nearer one, they are all under the one government after all!!

lol dont to see physio or wheelchair services its 90 mins away ,Essex have theres over the boarder in herts 2 miles fromdoor but will only see Essex people .And to amke it worse im 4 miles one way and 3 meters the other way from Essex half my road is Essex

OMG thats just bureaucracy gone silly!

Roundthebend4 have you had a namechange? Did you rise from the ashes previously?

lol it gets better we cant acess any offical or some voluntry clubs for essex dc only .

Then because we live in one area but lol we cant access because its aimed at people with dc at school here
and course dd school in essex and ds school with be in another LA.

But stuff there been told sorry you dont live here

luckily have found a all ablity sports fun club that are happy to blur the boundries

yep you have me on Fb

Thank you for pointing that out was worried sick and lying in bed not able to sleep (per normal). I am on carers (in a sad kinda way)

I hate those interviews also I just sit their and cry. I wish I could have a normal day never mind a normal life and send my ds to school and not think twice. Lucky the lady at JC is lovely and she has been with me throughout ...having to give up work, she came to my house to see how the programme works and my involvement and I can call her anytime....next few months so hard as I took a 3 yr break and have to hand in my notice in 2 months thinking I was going to 'cure' ds, fulltime school and work it was a how long this 'cure' takes Lovaass said so many years but aint been the case for ds being honest ds will always need support [acceptance econ]

well that sounds bad ....quick read.... yea medical asssesments, fun poking and proding kids and adults to see why they cant work....

great more stress. at this rate ill be surprised if i live to 40

couldnt agree more waith the dla testing will be another huge stress....esp as ds doesnt have 'physical' signs of disability.
