Carers speak out!

Tough times

I’ve been the sole carer for my wife since 2011 and like all of us there have been good times and bad times. There doesn’t seem to be many good times anymore now. I’ve always tried to earn a living but that’s more difficult now and am still waiting for carers allowance - I applied in January! House just about to go on the market to release some equity as no income for 7 months. No carers assessment, very little support from any carers organisation, just more empty words.
