Family unpaid Carers are going through Hell at the moment!

With so many going through a tough time at the moment we thought we would put a blog together for our front page, so please add your thoughts, your names will not be included.

Carers are going through hell at the moment, what with cut backs in services and concerns about benefits…….
 
1.Does no one care?

2.Perhaps its due to the non carers who organise the system. They dont do what we do so dont know what we face each day.

3.It is not just the carers either, although I am an unpaid carer, I receive Income Support for my own disability, cannot claim Invalidity Benefit as I am not disabled, according to the DWP doctor. Helen receives her JSA, and for eight months she has been trying to get a job, to no avail, and her Disability Element, we are going to lose both.
We have to go to a meeting in the Government Offices in Tunbridge Wells next Tuesday to see a financier to iron out exactly how Helen and I are supposed to buy food and pay bills without any income?
Despite this Coalition Government making all these cuts, supposedly to bring England out of the recession, why is it that they are targetting the poorer families, it doen’t hurt the wealthier, and what about their ‘fat’ pensions and salaries?
There is no fairness in this country for carers and the disabled.

4.Social services is run by idiots
NHS is run by idiots————-this can’t be accidental surely, maybe its a way of doing away with all disabled and long term sick without looking too bad to the rest of the world.

In 40 years of caring it has never been so bad, I am sure if they had their way the Government would have all disabled and long term sick in institutions, with basic living at basic cost.
Social care in this country is worse than in some third world countries, and it only upsets those it affects ,the general public will never care until it happens to them.
