    Caring is a part time job. There is no obligation to meet national minimum wage.
    how silly of us.
    we thought that a severely disabled person needs full time care.
    i must remember to tell my friend to only care for her mentally impaired, doubly incontinent sister part time .....

    Advice in this instance from "us" is factual and accurate advice.

    An opinion on who might be the best person to employ is an "opinion"

    This confirms my suspicion that there is an 'us' here. I reckon as I'm not a part of the 'us' crowd therefore BY DEFAULT my advice is false. Brilliant.

    I don't know, not all disabled persons need care full time. Who are 'us' by the way?

    Sorry but I dont believe in majority is the authority. It's a democracy not a dictatorship. I have my opinion, and I am right, I have proven by fact, end of story. You on the other hand have been DIRECTLY abusive to me, and you have DIRECTLY targetted me, and you have been reported.
    says you that doesnt know the difference between a family member/friend claiming CA and an e,ployed carer.
    report away if it makes you feel important. im off on holiday on friday and so it wont matter to me if i get a ban ;)

    'us' is the people you have beentelling that it is a part time job caring for a disabled person. many of who, are either disabled or care/have cared for people with significant disabilities
    we are people that use/have used the direct payments system and know how it works.

    I know the difference thank you. However you must note that nowhere do I say 'you dont know the difference'. I never point to no one, I respect everyones opinions. YOU on the other hand have again even in this most gotten personal. This has been reported as well.

    BTW I'm not concenred if you're going on a holiday as it's highly irrelevant to the topic of this thread, Thank you :)

    No incorrect I regularly disagree with some of the other posters in DT when it is an "opinion" as they do with me.

    The "us" applies to factual information in this instance..

    Who exactly? I have not been telling anyone. What makes you think I have not used direct payments? Stop getting personal.

    I gave factual information. Where was I wrong? Point out exact instance.
