Please Help Council Refusing to allow a move!

geoffky

You will find that its going to get tougher and tougher out there as councils and gov have not got the money anymore.. in the next few years once the tories are in power i am sure they will find you and your husband a job as the days of dla are numbered.The thing is the most important thing is a roof over your head and you get housing benefit backdated from the first Monday of the claim..so did they not pay you?

geoffky

you must get 180pm extra than others for carer's allowance and then there is the disabled premium in housing benefit and dla .680pm..why do you have rent arrears when you get more than most.who dont work

Hang on a minute.

Why on earth are posters bashing the OP.

She has been given a shocking service from the government ( i too believe that blanket policies are unlawful) that the council are not working in partnership with her and her GP and that her husband has multiple disabilities which clearly has a huge ipact on the availability of both of them to find paid employmetn. What do you want to do, get him working down mines toearn his keep? This is a civilised country (apparently) and I do not want to see those with disabilities lambasted for being sick.

You should be ashamed of yourselves.

there for the grace of god go every last one of us.

So you don't pay for your internet, lucky you. With free home internet for the unemployed no wonder the country is in such a state.

The other option radical as it is, maybe you could get a job.:rotfl:

Where was free internet for the unemployed mentioned?

and i would assume her husband cannot be left alone , or at least be capable of looking after a child while she works ?


lack of income for a few weeks / months would affect most people abilities to pay bills

Erm lets have a think about his one.

Access to the internet so I would guess a PC. No doubt a mobile phone colour tv and sky too. She's behind with rent on a council flat so I would hardly class a PC as a necesstity in life. When the rst of us are working to pay for it all.

I do wonder why posters are getting upset too.......................not.

Maybe your are more than happy with your rising taxes being wasted, others are not.

Wasted? where are taxes being wasted here? , they are paying back their rent arears .

But as they say what goes round comes around

None of this is the OPs fault. She's a full time carer for a person who is now seriously disabled and unable to be left alone.

I suspect the first thing the OP needs to do is check they are claiming all they are entitled do. With housing benefit, dole, carers allowance, child benefit, DLA and various other benefits, they shouldn't be struggling like this.

Thank you its good to see that there are some reasonable people out there, i would like to see Woodworker and geoffky live with a one disability that affects your mobilitity let alone two, so they are suggesting a get a job ok, so who will look after my husband and my daughter whilst i do this? Who is going to feed cloth and make sure my child is safe when her Daddy cannot even walk properly let alone do much else for her! If you had bothered to read anything that i have previously said then you would know that he cannot be left alone ever let alone left alone with a child in an upstairs flat! Tell me how would he get himself let alone my child down the stairs in an emergency?

If you want to slate somebody for not working why not go and do it to the people who dont work because they do not want to and not a wife who is looking after her disabled husband, do you think this is how we wanted to be living at 23????

And you automatically presume that we receive DLA, quite clearly you arent aware that very few claims for DLA get accepted! My husband has two illnesses that despite his consultants backing and reports the disability tribunal didnt think that somebody who can barely walk, has one leg shorter than the other, has poor balance and coordination and has CONSTANT DIZZINESS cannot look after themselves and carry hot pans across a kitchen, that is why we now have a case worker fighting this decision as all my husbands Doctors and even CAB cannot believe that they said no. Just because my husbands symtoms do not completely fit the criteria for Menieres disease as his Consultant has diagnosed they said no from the start. Meniere's disease is usually bouts of dizziness but my husband has always suffered constant dizziness.

And as for owning a PC again if you could read Woodworker you would know that up until my husband became ill with Meniere's disease he was working, last year! How dare you say what people should and should not own, if taxes are wasted on helping the sick then are they well spent on the lazy??

Come on, it's not like the OP's in this situation because of their own doing. Their OH has become ill. It could happen to you, you know - for example, step in front of a bus tomorrow, get a brain injury and that's it for your family's income and welcome to the OP's world. Would you perhaps fancy a bit of government help at that point? Thought so. It's not like her OH has a self inflicted condition - alcohol, drugs - classed as illness but really a result of their own weakness (sorry, my opinion..). They've been treated badly and need help. This is an advice board so if you're going to be judgemental then please go elsewhere. BTW the internet is very cheap nowadays - £10 a month is cheaper than smoking or drinking and it can save you a fortune. I bet it's easier for the OP to order things online than leave the house and risk her partner injuring himself? As for advice - if you have a university near you then sometimes their law department run clinics offering legal advice on this sort of thing. Kent at Canterbury do. Have a search - might be good?

PS - if the op left her partner or went to work and a carer had to come in, how much would THAT cost? A damn sight more!

Woodworker clearly has also no concept that mobile phones, tvs, PCs, and a wohle raft of other consumer goods are given away FOR FREE on freecycle.

Many of my clients managed to get themselves BASIC consumer goods from those who prefer secondlives for items rather than landfill.

I have reported woodworkers posts to abuse, so be prepared OP that the whole thread could be pulled.
