Your daughter can make up the short fall or either parent can get a job!

If you had bothered to read the first post I said Both Parents were Carers to Disabled Children. So please do not be rude. We both work 24/7 for very little money and No thanks.

It is so clear that people still assume On Benefits = Lazy. Maybe some of you should try living our life for just a week.

I'm not seeing that anyone is saying this at all. You simply aren't getting the answers that you want to get.

You have three options. Live on the income that you have. Charge her rent. Or one of you gets another job. That isn't saying that you are lazy. They are simply the options that you have and there aren't others.

And nobody is taking money away from YOU. They are taking it away from HER. Because she is an adult and has chosen to leave education and get a job, so she is now also expected to make her own way in the world and pay her own bills. You may think £100 a week rent is high. But given that this would include absolutely everything - accommodation, every bill going, and food and laundry. £100 a week is a pretty good deal for all that, and if she thinks that she can do better, she has the option to move out. If she had moved out, you wouldn't be expecting to still get the money in benefits for her - why do you think that she should get the money for not moving out and getting a job?

Your comments about people living your life are inappropriate and offensive. You have no idea what kind of lives people on this board live. Many posters here actually have a great deal of experience precisely because they have already been there, or are still there, and know what it is like. Some have severe disabilities and struggle - but spend time helping out others. I suggest that you re-read what has been said and take it as it has been said, instead of deciding that people are being "rude" because you don't like the advice. And an apology would perhaps be appropriate - people have tried to help you and you are the one being rude.

Is the 18 year old one of the children you are providing care for?

Oh get over yourself it's not rude to suggest someone either needs to pay rent or another needs to secure their own income when money is needed, it's common sense.

According to their post from over a year ago, their 19 year old daughter is not one of the disabled children they are claiming for.

We have 3 teenage boys (18, 16 and 14) in a single room. Two are disabled needing day and night care, and one of those has to sleep on the floor since we have no space for a bed. This has been the situation for some years. Our daughter (18) is in the box room.

Thanks. Was only going to suggest WTC for her if she worked and was disabled.

No, we will be loosing his money in February.

I'll also add again that we are Carers to two disabled Children/Adults. It is a 24/7 job so going out to work is not an option as we both already have a Full Time job.

OhWow was just confirming that your daughter wasn't the one who was disabled because I had as if she was, she could have claimed WTC if working.

They didn't suggest you work.

No - it's not about you losing his money, it is that he will need to pay his own way from February.

OP you have been extremely rude to people on here who are trying to help you !
