Hello Forum,
When the loved one we care for dies, is there a path back to work for those of us receiving a Carer Pension?
Are we set adrift and expected to get a job within weeks after our loss?
We need to make funeral arrangements and tie up some loose ends before moving on and returning the the world.
Thank you.
