health issues re s/g/o

[divadi2000]

If you have health issues when applying for s/g/o will it go against you even tho ive had the kids 12mths?

It depends what those health issues are. As we all get older, bits become a bit creaky and dont work so well. There are probably more carers with health problems than without really.

I know at least one carer who has suffered a heart attack in the last couple of years, she has the care of 2 grandchildren and is being supported by the LA for SGO.
