Carer payment

I posted the other day that I'd applied for carer payment and it seemed possible my dad would die before it was approved. Thanks to everyone who offered advice, I called, they were very nice, turns out they wanted extra details and I didn't know, so I provided that and three days later I'm approved.. which means I don't have to worry about the power bill and can focus on caring for my dad

Son disowned me

My ex wife was very abusive and I snapped one day and told her to fuck off.. she showed my son and he disowned me. What should I do? He's told me never to speak to him again

Carer pension

I stopped work to care for my aging dad six weeks ago and applied for the pension.. now I'm told he's got two weeks to live. I really need that back pay. Will I get it if he dies?

So my dad is dying

I'll keep this short to not waste time as my every other attempt to post has been deleted

I've been my dads full time carer for only six weeks, he went back into hospital and they've said the cancer is everywhere and he's got under 2 months left.

Any software devs here? I'm 57 with 26 years experience and I can't get an interview anymore. Is the market dead or am i too old?
