My wife and I used to receive Family Credit but that finished and we were told to apply for UC. During the process my wife declined to finish applying due to the assessment process and the stress involved. While on family credit the award covered her disability and inability to work. UC is too complicated, a person already receiving a benefit with the extra unable to work element should automatically qualify on any new benefits applied for. A disability preventing a person from working doesn’t go away when new or amended benefits are implemented.

The nightmare is getting worse and I have no idea how and where to find welfare rights support. I tried my local Citizen's Advice Bureau when I had to go to an appeal when I was unfairly dismissed, and they were absolutely useless.

Well, make sure you have a plan b. Worst case scenario for you, and the person you care for is unlived! How long do you think they will give you before expecting you to be look for work?? Clue, It won't be months or years. Have a plan you can develop yourself. I only say this as it happened to a friend of mine. Look online for courses that help you.
