Need Some 'Real' Help Here! [Denied IS, CA & Crisis Loan]

Your mum should get your brothers DLA award re-looked at if he needs so much care and is only on low level, that is more of a long term thing though as it can take several weeks for the award to be considered and she may need to appeal. It certainly isn't the fast route back onto income support so something has to be done in the meantime, does your brother claim ESA for being unable to work?

OK, so you suggest he leaves his dying father in hospital, and a mother who couldn't remember if she ate a few hours ago or not, who can't move on her own due to being paralysed. You are one cold hearted person, I give you that much.[

Erm... Who will be taking care of my little brother, and my older brother?

My situation barley pays for my own living expenses, thank you. [minimum wage is no joke.]


I have better things to do then tell him what has just happened. [his aware of the basic situation, which he thinks my mother will be receiving I.S) I'm trying to solve this without adding onto his pain. A little courtesy please. He already suffers from a heart condition as it is.

Yes, but I'm not sure what's its called of the top of my head. All I know is they said, Low, Medium, and high stages. Apparently his at the lower stage.

OK, if your brother gets LRC your mum cannot claim CA for him.

You need to look at what you are posting on other threads, you keep contradicting yourself.

Can you not look after your brothers?

Not as cold hearted as a dad and son who watch as their mum and brothers suffer

So are you more worried about upsetting your father than your mum and brothers starving. Nice family values

If its low rate care then nobody will get carers for him.

And thats after YOUR brother got a free one

So if your employed and paying tax why are YOU not helping your mum and brother(s)?

I don't want to mention how much you have just failed. For starters... Thats my LITTLE brothers laptop you quoted. Secondly, What the hell has that got to do with anything? Thirdly, I pay tax, unlike you, and if you knew what that was like on minimum wage, you wouldn't be telling me to try help others on a pay check of £210. [for which I am trying you a-hole]

Your a very, sad, sad man/woman for going through peoples profile threads. Really. Don't post again, this is a serious thread.

Well if he's getting paid low rate DLA care your Mum won't qualify for Carer's Allowance, nor Income Support either. So the advice she's been given ... to claim Jobseeker's Allowance ... is entirely correct.

If your Brother's health has deteriorated since DLA was last considered, he needs to apply for his DLA entitlements to be reviewed urgently.

There's a vague possibility that Income Support could pay your Mum during the time it takes for his DLA to be reviewed, but they would have to be satisfied that your Mum is providing substantial care for him & she'll have to explain the nature of the care provided & it's duration. If satisfied, Income Support could pay without Carer's Allowance entitlement being determined and they'd pay without the Carer Premium addition. They might send a Compliance Officer to visit both of them to gather the evidence they need. But that's all assuming that the I.S. claims officer is aware of this little loophole ... I don't hold out much hope of that.

Why not? My old man and his friend made it in just over 25 hours... And that was a first try attempt. It's only 1,600 miles away.

Thats an average of 66mph. And don't forget the German Autobahn. (130MPH+ Speeds FTW!)

Not sure what type of 'save the trees' car your driving, buts its extremely do-able.

I only said 2 days for the sake of not having a co-driver, and wanting to "take it easy" travelling relaxed.

So it should be easy enough for him to pop back and collect the rest of his family.

Thanks. I'll be sure to ask them over the phone tomorrow regarding his care award being re-looked at. I'm not sure if my brother receives ESA. I'll have to ask tomorrow in the morning.

Thanks again.

I think that the DWP would find it very suspicious that the OPs brother suddenly developed substantial care needs (going from needing help for roughly 1 hour a day to needing constant supervision) just around the time that his father disappears and the family have lost their entitlement to means tested benefit as a result.

I think every hoop in the world would be hauled out for a request for a review of the DLA award in these circumstances - as it should be.
