@Former-Member I am sorry to hear that. It must be very difficult to have the majority of your income relying on only the carer payment.

I am not a carer myself. However, I have heard from a close friend that it could be challenging to manage one’s day/time when your caring responsibilities clash with your other duties. Before I move on to the next question, I do want to take my hat off to all the carers on the forums and others out there. Y’all are so amazing!

My husband is on DSP @Peonies , we manage very well on this and my carer payment. I would gladly give up work to focus on caring full time for Mr Darcy but as well as his bipolar ii he has a terminal illness. I need to keep this work so that when he passes I will have at least something to bring in income.

I am really sorry to hear that you will need a kidney transplant in the future @Shaz51
The physical health problems must not be easy for you at all.
