I'm very sorry for your situation and am not criticising you for all the great work you do for your dad. I don't think the Council would make you homeless but that's another debate!
Which Party do you think is most likely to be of benefit to you? A Party which has vowed to cut benefits and others that take a more sympathetic approach. I would have thought the LibDems would be your first choice given their commitment to raise carers' benefits which you have described as measly? A vote for them would send a message to the next PM that carers' roles are important. (And they won't take you back into the EU in the next Parliament either so Brexit can be taken out of the equation.)
