Hoping someone may be able to help. We have 2 disabled children and a toddler who is currently going through diagnosis for Autism. I currently work full time and my wife cares for the children. As this is getting more and more difficult and stressful (I am currently signed off work with Stress) I am considering the possibility of giving up work to help at home full time. I believe I would be entitled to carers allowance immediately but am not sure what would happen with other benefits, in particular Tax Credits and Housing Benefit? Would I be entitled to these straight away or not?
