Key worker and carer at home

mexico2012

I am a key worker in a ncare home,currently taking time off to care for my terminally Iill hubby going through  his 3rd course of chemotherapy.
i  am worried about returning to work,and then putting my husband at risk.
Universal credit are already  on to me about returning to work,even thought his is the first time I have ever put a claim in.
I'm torn
I have been off work for 6 weeks.

Sorry what do you mean by they are already on at you to return to work? 

Are you currently signed off sick?

Lots of people still work and have done so since lockdown was put into place. They also live with vulnerable people and still continue to work, making sure they stick to strict hygiene rules.

UC have currently suspended all work requirements so I don’t understand this.
OP, you say your husband is terminally ill. Does he get Personal Independence Payment? If he does you need to tell UC that you are his carer. Not only would this mean that you would not be required to work but it would also increase your UC entitlement.
