Hi, I have 2 children with fragile x, we get middle for care and low for mobility although CAHMS are helping with form to try to get it on to high for both because of eldest behaviour, we don't get anything for the youngest whose 2 1/2 although it's gone to tribunal. My husband works for police although he's been told not for much longer as it's either redundancy or the section he works for is going to be privatised so it's not looking good at moment, if he loses his job which looks very likely does anybody know what we would be entitled to if anything, we are buying our house and are very worried that we are going to lose it so would appreciate any info anybody has. x

I have 5 lovely children and even though it's stressfull at time's I love having a big family

Although it takes some juggling you can put your mind at rest somewhat if you use the benefit calculator to show what you will get....... you will never be as well-off financially as when working but there are benefits available to claim that can help get you all through and keep the roof over your heads too

we rent our house so i cant really help on the owning side but fatherjack is the resident housing expert
this is the benefit checker that fatherjack mentioned, its worth putting in info as if your hubby isnt working rather than how it is now to get an idea.

thanks i'll try that x

Will your husband be likely to recieve a redundancy pay off as this would impact on some benefits for a while
