Universal credit
Hi there,
My son just turned 3 recently, he has disability and currently we are receiving universal credit.
They book me a telephone appoiment about work search it says in the journal...
I am just a bit worries because I want to work but at the same time I am the primary carer of my son which need me a lot because he have therapies etc.
I am just worried they will tell me I need to rush to find a job and I can not manage the drop offs and pick ups from nursery( he goes only morning few hours for inclusion)
Anyone have similar situation? Thank you

@Laurie Yes I do
Do you claim carers allowance? You're a carer technically so you won't have work commitments. You can also get the carers element of UC too
@Laurie Thank you for letting me know! I didn't know about the carers allowance but in the UC they know I am the primary carer for him. Thank you
You can also get an extra 200 a month from UC if you report a change and say you have a disabled child
You will have to apply for a careers allowance, if you are eligible then you do won’t have to work.!!
