Hi ,, I have recently broken my tibia and fibula ( right leg ) in a motor cycle accident and now have got a Taylor spatial frame ( traction ) bolted in through the outside of my , I was a self employed roofer and did not have appropriate insurance to cover my loss of earnings, me and my partner have a mortgage to pay and a 3 year old daughter who we are still paying school cost for as she missed out on free schools by a few days - now child tax credits has stopped helping us because only 1 of us is working ( my partner only works part time for Bristol city council as a support worker ) plus all of our other costs. The government say that we not entitled to employment and support allowance and we are not entitled to disability living allowance, my daughter’s school is now considering releasing her because we are accumulating a debt with them. To cut a long story short does anybody know any way that I can earn money from home I am willing to do almost anything within reason like stuffing envelopes.
Thanks Mike

    Unfortunately there are plenty of people in exactly the same boat (especially in Bristol as building work on our local developments just stopped overnight). Is there anything that you can do that some people can't? ie translation, coaching, musical instrument etc? If you can then you can teach maybe?

    While I don't have any ideas - I wish you the best.
