My husband is 50 and in a nursing home, I am 45 and I have been on wife’s pension for 27 years. On the 20th March they are axing the wife’s pension and because my husband is in a nursing home I’m going to be put strait onto Jobseekers payment because I am not a carer anymore and not of age pension age. I are still very involved with my husbands finances and care as far as visiting him daily and sorting most of his affairs out . I am a total mess now because of my own health and I feel I have been thrown to the wolf’s . I’m also very lonely and have 2 children that don’t give a crap about me . I’m struggling to keep it together and I’m very depressed .
