Question: Benefits available?

I am a single parent and work full time. I have had very severe health problems that require daily treatment and alot of hospital appointments. This isn’t fair on me or my employer and I am considering giving up my job for a few months to get better. I claim working tax credits to pay for my sons nursery place but if I go on disability benefits will I get any help to keep my son in nursery as we both need this place, him as he needs the stimulation and me coz I am not fit enough to look after him full time. Any one know what I am entitled to or in this situation ??

Answer: Just go off sick for a few months to recupe. If you quit work & apply for disability, that will be your lot along with housing & council tax benefit. The whole point of having sick leave is for this reason. I was off sick last year for 6mths and am still attending doctor appointments now but I do this without losing money because it’s standard work entitlements.

Good luck
