  • hi BigAunty

    thanks for your reply.

    I already get carers premium on my IS. I'm not sure about ESA contribution based etc, I've not worked since my daughter was born as she needs round the clock care. The likelihood of me working again is sadly very low because i used to love my job, as im a single parent to two kids, it seems even more unlikely.

    Thanks for your reply though, it has at least eased my fear about the benefit cap. :-)

    i'd appreciate it if you would keep your useless and rather irksome remarks to yourself. you come do what i'm doing then see if you have the time to make endless enquires. people like you with nothing useful to add to an innocent inquiry get right on my beak. idiot!:mad:

    Your annoyed because you know what I said is true the majority of parents provide care for their children 24/7 regardless if they have no job or work and source suitable childcare. I understand having a disabled child is a full time job however I was simply saying dont try blame the government for not contacting you to say you may be eligible for CTC it was your job to enquire.
  • i'm annoyed because people like you look down their nose at people like me. You patronize me by saying you understand that having a disabled child is a full time job, you have no idea, so please, do me and everybody like me, keep your opinions to yourself and unless you have something valid to say, leave my thread. thanks.
