Hi, I hope i have posted this in the right place I am sorry if not..
I will be taking advice at the CAB but i can't get there until next weekend so i hoped someone would be able to give me an idea of where i am/what i can do
i live in a 1 bed flat that until recently i shared with my partner, we both worked full time, i still do but he has now left me for someone else and wont pay any rent. i can just about keep up the rent and bills by myself but i have literally a few pounds left after payday. i have also been really upset at my job for a long time and we are now going through a restructure so i could be made redundant at the end of august. i have found another job but they can only offer me 1 or 2 days work which is 7 or 15 hours per week and it is hourly paid and term time only. at the same time, my grandmother (who raised me) has been unwell with alzheimers for many years and has been getting gradually worse. I have been caring for her in my spare time for 6 years. Someone told me I should claim carers allowance for this, but am I allowed? If I did this and worked at the new job, would I be able to get some help with my rent or will I have to move out? Im really confused :(
oh and if i was made redundant i would not get anything as i have only been there 21 months end of aug.
does anyone have any advice please..
