my OH is my carer (although we now sell antiques online part time) but before i was well enough to do this, his boss had no sympathy whatsoever.
and it proves how much money carer save the country by my own experience.
OH got asked to go for an interveiw to be retrained (if you dont go they stop your allowance)
whilst there the interveiwer basically said to him
"okay, we suggest you keep on being you wifes carer, but once she's give up the ghost, just get in touch, and we'll sort out some training for you to begin a new career"
LOL!
