Hi everyone.
My husband has Alzheimer's Disease (probably late stage 6 I would say). I have been his full time care giver for almost 4 years now. We are in receipt of ESA, PIP, Carer's Allowance, Housing Benefit and Council Tax Support (we live in a privately rented house) My husband is 63 and I am 55.
My husband goes to a day care center one day a week and I do have help from our daughter and friends but, despite this, my own mental and physical health is suffering now and I am beginning to wonder how much longer I can cope. If the time did come in the near future when I felt I had no choice but to place my husband in a nursing home could anyone please tell me what would be the affect on the benefits please?
Thank you so much in advance for any information you can give.
