    Why?

    The post made perfect sense to me. Could you not understand what was being asked?

    OP contact your benefits office and ask them. I know if you leave a job an then have to claim jobseekers they can sanction you, but I'm not sure if the same applies when giving up work to take on caring responsibilities.
