We have looked into the above mentioned items. My daughters are over 16 so I no longer qualify for any child related benefits, also my husband has a very decently paid job so he earns more than the means tested benefits allow. Our problem is we got a new mortgage four months before I became ill, so we hadn't had it long enough to claim on mortgage protection (we asked) and just after we moved my daughter announced she was pregnant. Unexpected huge expenses on top of my illness and loosing a job have just compounded everything.
I will go see CAB though, it has taken three months to get the GP to complete the forms I needed to get the loan protection to kick in which has mentally drained me so getting help with other forms would be good.
