Hi,I have for most of my adult l ife looked after my disabled father.I receive carers & my father relies on his pension & DLA both care & mobility higher.2 years ago I took on a very small paert time job working 9 hours a week on minimum wage.As the wage was so low there was no NIC or tax.Found out today job going so went to job centre & told as paid no NIC NOT entitled to JSA.Also advised as my father now lives in my house his pension income takes me over the income threshold for JSA & IS.Was told job centre could not help & basically to find another job!!!I am NOT & never have been a benifits scrounger but though I could get a small benefit to tiide me over but no.no .no.My fathers pension goes on some of the household expenditure,but shortly I will have nothing for me,with my job I got about £55 a week not a lot but it gave me credence & also made me feel worthwhile.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance
