Hi all.
I have been caring for my wife Mary since last February , and I get some universal credit as I'm on half pay which comes to and end on the 23 of February. I have been offered I'll health retirement or a career break, not to sure which way to go, if I take I'll health retirement I'm guessing I will lose the small help I get from universal credit and have no job to return to, if I take a career break I guessing I will lose universal credit as they would say I have voluntary taken time out of the workplace, the career break would be 12months and if, ( hopefully will be ) Mary is still with us I will still be unable to return to work and therefore lose my job. Any help would be appreciated if anybody has had to make this decision.
Mary was diagnosed in October 2017 and given 2 years, bulbar palsy / onset ALS , she is now 63, I'm 60 so I have 7 years of working life left.
Yours
Tim and Mary
