When a relationship ends & you're financially dependant on your partner

pintsizepirate
Hi there
My partner can no longer cope with me and has just ended our relationship. I've been diagnosed with ADHD and on a waiting list for autism assessment. I'm 47, completely dependant on my partner financially and not currently working. Over the last year I received multiple diagnoses and currently going through the PIP reconsideration stage. 
- Where do I go to get help? (they want to sell the house ASAP)
- Is there any help? (suspect little help is available)
I knew this was coming and have put a few savings aside but not enough to cover finding a new home and paying rent. Any advice or information would be hugely appreciated as I currently have no clue what to do or where to go. Online trying to speak to Citizens Advice but no-one available. Think I need to be up earlier for that. 
Many thanks in advance.

  • Hi Joanne

    I am really sorry you’re in this position. Have you thought about using services for neurodivergent people for advice? I have not checked but I wonder if somewhere like Sunshine Support offer advice? I was going to try them for providing advocacy services for an EHCP for my son but they may cover many more areas for people to access. It is worth checking out I guess and if they don’t there may be others out there. They are online and in the Derbyshire area.

    thank you. yes I wondered about a charity as surely this is a regular situation for many diagnosed and undiagnosed neurodivergent people. I'll see whats local. 

    thank you.
