Carers UK A carer has just been in touch, mad at not being able to get help with cleaning. She's struggling to clean both her house and her mother's, whilst at the same time having to get her mother washed and dressed and meals prepared. A direct payment could help but carers say getting a cleaning service is a tough battle...
Jayson Lowery CARERS UK----IS IT BEST IF THE CAREE APPLIES FOR ASSESSMENT FOR DIRECT PAYMENT>>>>I COULD NOT FIND ANSWER,,,its confusing, it does matter, unless they can assess couples as a unit
Jayson Lowery In a nutshell, cleaning, washing. heating,time etc are bigger problems than what the council could help with, but i am struggling with these and finance which is why i'm thinking bout direct payments even fr just cleaning
Jayson Lowery I dont work or get council help. If i did work i'd need help six in the morning and last thing at night,as well as during day. I pay for own cleaning and spend loads on heating and washing.If i did take work i'd need hrs of help. I dont think the SS could help me but do you think direct payments would help my situatio...n???? bearing in mind i dont get help now
Jayson Lowery Where do you get re-tuning advice for freeview on Dec 2nd????

Aminata Savage I am a carer my self and will love to support the course and share information with other carers.
Carers UK Some info here for carers about the digital switchover scheme.
www.carersuk.org
Between now and 2012, television in the UK is changing to digital and the older, analogue TV signal will be switched off by ITV region. Those who don’t have digital TV by the time of switchover will lose their TV service but help could be available for the person you care for.
Jayson Lowery Do you know any detail on direct payments??????? No one answered post
Jayson Lowery Just the people in the street that you can talk to and collect off. Its the only way i can think of to make a point. You dont get real media attention. There are thousands of carers like us just ignored. The govt gives more help to drug addicts in finding work etc but i do think we should be classified as employed---it...s criminal for us to be catergorised with people doing sod all
