Hi,
I recently split with my partner and start a new universal credit claim as a single person. I'm not working at the moment. I receive carer allowance for my 9 years old autistic son. I haven't had my interview yet for the universal credit but I'm really worried because I heard you'll be pressured to find a job? Also if you refused to work, they can refused your universal credit application? I would like to work but I don't have any family/friend who can help with the childcare. My ex also only able to take him on weekends.
Anybody in a similar situation? Unemployed, receiving carers allowance and applying for single parent universal credit?
Please advise, I'm really really worried.
Thanks.
