Following on from my last post about the deterioration in my son's mental health, I am further demoralised & dismayed by the discovery that I will no longer receive Child Benefit or Child Tax Credits (including disabled child benefit & severe disability premium) if my son takes up an apprenticeship in the new academic year. As a disabled young man, I didn't envisage this being a possibility just yet. It will impact my household income dramatically. I just don't know how I'm going to cope. And with the threat of having to migrate from legacy benefits onto Universal Credit in the near future, I feel doomed to destitution yet again.
