Hello everyone,
I would really like some advice on what everyone thinks I should do.
My son is 8 and his behaviour is becoming increasingly worse as he is getting older.
I already claim disability living allowance which he gets a lower rate as when he was awarded I didn't put all in information in and he wasn't diagnosed. He has had his assessment and we are waiting to hear back from that.
My question is, if he gets diagnosed and I can get more help financially would it be worth me leaving my job?
I am currently working at my sons school working 30 hours a week as a 1:1 with a child in a different year group but working with a special needs child and then parenting my son is becoming too much and I am finding that I am really starting to struggle to get up for work everyday.
I already get universal credit for my son and daughter, I was just wondering if financially we would break even if he got a diagnosis and we were awarded higher rate.
Please no judgement, I'm not a money grabber or greedy. I am just trying to get by mentally and financially.
