Help,

I have worked all my life now and get high rate mobility lost care component when moving to pip but because I am working was not bothered about it as my wife cares for me. Now I face a predicament that I must lesson my hours or stop all together as I am now just shattered every day. Does any one know how much I could be left to live on if I come out of work as no web site helps me. My wife does not work she baby sits our granddaughter so my daughter can work I have been told to say she's my career as it will effect my benefits. I really am tiered now and just need to know what u get to live on after rent poll tax and rates are paid. Do I claim careers for my wife first or after I pack up or is it more beneficial to keep working a certain amount of hours not the 55 hours a week I do know like to drop to 15 or less. Can someone help please

The best I can suggest is that you put your information into one of the online benefit calculators

www.gov.uk/benefits-calculators

or get face to face advice from a trained advisor, do an internet search for "welfare advice" with your postcode, town or county.
