Hi guys hope you all keeping warm and well I'm being a Mard arse with bad tooth ache but refuse to see dentist so my own fault ok got a bit of a delemia for you as I've spoke about on many occasions my partner (hero) is terminally ill with pancrtitis which is cronic as well as type 2 diabetes he is a amazing man constant pain but never ever moans he also suffers very bad aniexty which has got worse over the years thanks to horrible nighbours well I got dignosed with RA in 2014 and do have flares but most of time am controlled by a cocktail of drugs I currently work ful time as a night time care assistant but don't drive so my partner takes me and picks me up as wel as takeing the kids school very day no matter about his feeling and illness only time he won't drive is when his blood sugars are low my partner has supported me through my nvq level 2 health and social care and I'm now in my level 3 which I finish in February 18 my partner has said for me if I want to to give up work after I get my level 3 qualification as he struggles and at times I struggle the up side to they is at the minute I work to many hours for my partner to get benefits so if I did give up work he could get benefits My employers are good but I do find the job a maul on my joints at times I won't lie about that but my ideal job is a care assistant in the hospital but who will employ me with RA and I'll have to rely on my poorly partner so my question to my essay is

Do I give up work and we look after each other or try to keep going we have two children 15 and 12 years to think about to but will we be better off not working as my wages don't last the month anyway sorry for length xx

Before you make any decisions, have you thought about claiming for PIP? You might be successful, which would definitely be a bonus.

Such a tough decision! Sometimes being together 24/7 you can get on each other's nerves. Everyone needs there own space. Don't be to hasty and make sure it's what's best for you all xx
