Working Away from Home

Terence123

I wonder if anyone has been in a similar position I have Bronchiectasis and I have been unemployed for some time I have recently been referred to one of these Job finding agencies by the Job Centre. I worked away for a lot of years as a Shopfitter and now they say that I have to take a Job away & have sent me for an interview today and I am panicking in case I have to go away.My wife is Ok trundling around the house most of the time but for the last week has felt quite poorly with an infection of my Sinuses.The disease she has is progressive and she gets a lot of illness and very weary.The agency has said if i don't go for the interview they would stop our benefits and if I don't take the job the same will apply. I am 60 years of age and my wife the same my wife is frightened of not managing and been ill with no help. My daughter lives the other side of the country. I have applied for hundreds of jobs at home and does want a job but we are both worried what will happen.My wife is not classed as disabled or anything and can manage most of the time but get really tired and a lot of infections.Any advice would be great I haven't slept for the last two nights for the worry.
Thanks

Please any help

Can she not relocate with you? Hassle but at least she'd get the care she needs.

Not really it would mean paying for digs for my wife the job is £7.00 an hour so we could not afford it and pay for our home too. My wif e is not well enough to travel the long distances and different places every week and no cooking facilities in bed & breakfast if she had a chest infection she is really ill too ill to be left in a B&B by herself all day
Thank you anyway

I think pawsies meant re-locate permanently to a new area

Does your wife claim any benefits for her medical condition?
