What Do I Do About This Job?

[abbeylee90]

Sorry I know I got a thread about this but won't let me reply anymore. At the moment I'm really in doubt got loads of pros and cons 

[newmodarmy]

Do your parents get any kind of carer's allowance  or have they enquired?

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, months and months ago, people here suggested you seek advice about a diagnosis, your entitlement to benefits etc .Did you ever follow up any of the suggestions then?

[barry1010]

They could only get carer allowance if Abbey is in receipt of certain disability benefits 

[DDIL]

One of Abbey's alleged illness was diagnosed at 5 with no follow up or support.

Abbey if you moved out and got a flat you would be able to claim benefits.

[abbeylee90]

I've applied for benefits will see the outcome in a few days I guess.

[pastafreak]

A few days? Some benefits take up to 12 weeks for a decision. 

[DDIL]

Did you manage to fill in the forms ok?

[DDIL]

Out of interest what benefits did you apply for 

[bednobs]

so in a period of 3 hrs you got the forms, filled them in properly, sent them off/submitted them?  This is absolutely amazing progress seeing as it takes you ages to decide what to eat/what knickers to put on and so on

[Madgeorge]

This is not a real world scenario.

[naomi24]

I imagine abbey has filled in applications on-line so not terribly time consuming.

[pastafreak]

Filling in the applications can take a while...I see estimatesof 20-120 minutes. But the wait for a decision is likely to be longer than a few days. Again, I'm sure it depends on what she's applied for.

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, you said on Friday that you were 'apparently not entitled to any benefits'. Who told you that? Did you apply before?

[Clementino]

The link that Barry supplied could be quite complicated for Abbey. I hope that she was absolutely truthful in all that she answered, as everything is now checked with the household, employer, etc.

[DDIL]

1452 spot on

[naomi24]

DDIL, What do you expect to achieve by continually poking at abbey?

[douglas9401]

Don't tell 'er Pike.

[Barsel]

Naomi what do you hope to achieve with the continual advice you give to Abbey?

[naomi24]

I hope I'm helping her, Barsel.

[ynnafymmi]

But you are not helping her Naomi,you are only fuelling her delusions.
