Hubby went to sign on yesterday, he spoke to them about our benefits and situation.
They told him to tell me to ask my doctor to sign me off on long term sick and then to claim DLA and for hubby to claim as my carer:mad:
Ok, I know I am unwell. But at the moment there is no reason what so ever for me to be signed off sick. I love my job and I think that will help me as much as any medication.
I told hubby I would rather be struggling than doing that, especially when there are people who genuinally are unable to work through illness and can't get any help.

You can claim DLA - even when working. Contact CAB for advice.0
