‘Damned if you do & damned if you don't – Frustrated Irish mum ‘punished' by strict means test while caring for son, 22
PARENTS who have been forced to leave work to care for their children are being denied a carer's allowance due to a strict means test, with one mum claiming: 'I feel like I'm being punished.' A group of family carers met with politicians near 5 Parents forced to leave work to care for their kids are being denied a carer's allowance Credit: Mark Stedman 5 Carers are urging the Government to live up to its promise to abolish the means test Credit: Mark Stedman 5 Family Carers Ireland are urging the Government to increase the means test disregard Credit: Mark Stedman People who care for a loved one with additional needs can benefit from a carer's allowance worth €260 a week. However, carers are ruled out of this payment if there is an income of more than €1,250 per week or €625 for a single person – following changes that kicked in this week. A separate carer's grant of €2,000 is paid out once a year to help with the cost of caring, but to qualify carers must not work more than 18 and half hours a week in a Both Read more in News Lynsey O'Donovan cares for her son, Jack, 22, who has cerebral palsy and is non-verbal, incontinent, and also suffers from epilepsy. The mum does not qualify for the carer's allowance because her family income is slightly over the threshold. She told the Irish Sun: 'I'm not recognised as a carer whatsoever because we're slightly over the means test. 'I had to start work last year. So because I started working and in January I did a few hours over the 18 and a half hours you're allowed without thinking and now I didn't get the support grant either. Most read in The Irish Sun 'You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. 'I feel punished. I get up to turn Jack at least ten times a night and that's on a good night. 'SO FRUSTRATING' 'It is so frustrating that I get no recognition from the State. Lifting that means test would be massive for us. 'I could stop working or even just cut back my hours because I go to work and I'm coming home and Jack is coming home and it is full on. 'He's peg fed. He needs attention 24/7. He's non verbal and incontinent and epilepsy as well. So it would make a massive difference.' Dubliner Paul Skelly was forced to leave his job during the 'I HAD TO GIVE UP WORK' Ciara has cerebral palsy, autism and epilepsy. Due to Paul's job, he did not qualify for the carer's allowance; meanwhile, other people who could not work due to the Covid-19 restricts were receiving €350 a week through the PUP. He told the Irish Sun: 'When Covid hit, all her services stopped. Moira was the carer. I was working but when the services stopped I had to give up work at 64 to help care for her. 'But I didn't qualify for the carer's allowance. I went on the dole for nine months and then that was cut. 'THEY DON'T LOOK AT THE COST' 'So you had kids on our road with part time jobs that were getting €350 a week and I was getting €50 because I had to leave my job to help care for my daughter because the services stopped. 'I didn't give up to play golf or swan off. I got a lump sum when I left work and that's all gone to sustaining us. 'When you means test everything, they don't look at the cost of everything like adapting work at home – there's grants but they don't come anywhere near the cost so you just re-mortgage and re-mortgage.' 'You're damned if you do and damned if you don't." Lynsey O'Donovan Damien Douglas was a psychiatric nurse and his wife was a nurse before she left work to care for their twin daughters Una and Ailis who both have a rare condition called Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. FAMILY THRIVING The family were told that Una and Ailis would not live for more than two years but both girls are now 30 and thriving under the care of their mam and dad. However, as Damien continued to work, the family did not get any carer's allowance until this year. The weekly disregard for the carer's allowance was raised this week to €1,250 for a couple with Damien and his wife now qualifying for a full payment for the first time despite caring for their daughters for decades. He said: 'Today is the first day that my wife and I have actually got a full carer's allowance because of the new €1,250 allowance. 'IT WAS ROUGH' 'We're well off insofar as we survived without the full carer's allowance, but both of us had to give up work over the years. 'My wife didn't get a pension at all until two years ago. I had a pension but far reduced than what it would have been if I was able to continue working on until I was 65. 'We still managed. Nobody starved in our house and we never missed a He added: 'If I was an artist struggling I would get €325 a week which was brought in two years ago. The most a carer can get full time is €260 a week or €280 if you're over 60. 'INEQUALITY THAT DOESN'T RING TRUE' 'There is an inequality in that that doesn't ring true. It devalues what we do. It is not seen as being important.' 'I didn't give up to play golf or swan off. I got a lump sum when I left work and that's all gone to sustaining us." Paul Skelly A briefing for politicians heard from carers who raised a range of issues from waiting lists for therapies, lack of respite services, complications in transferring to adult services and problems accessing appropriate changing facilities. Family Carers Ireland are urging the Government to increase the means test disregard to €1,500 per couple and €750 for a single person in the upcoming budget on the pathway to abolishing the test altogether. The carers group is also urging the Coalition to increase funding for respite services to give carers help in day services or overnight services. 5 Lynsey O'Donovan doesn't qualify because her income is slightly over the threshold Credit: Sam Boal/Collins 5 The carers group is also urging the Coalition to increase funding for respite services Credit: Sam Boal/Collins

I'm a dog expert – here's the biggest mistake you make that causes your pet to behave badly, and it's so easy to fix
WHEN a dog misbehaves, the immediate reaction of most owners is to just blame the animal. However, Diane Hart, dog rehabilitator partnering with Advertisement 1 Diane Hart is a dog expert who helps to rehome and rehabilitate border collies Credit: Instagram @border_collie_rescue_and_rehab And smothering your pet with love while talking to them in a baby voice are signs you could be at fault. Diane emphasises that owners often unintentionally cause harm by treating their dogs like human children. Dogs, she explains, need to understand their place at the bottom of the "pack" to feel comfortable and secure. When a dog is at the top of the hierarchy, they may begin to assert dominance, even over children. Advertisement This is especially true if the parents are strong "alphas" and the child is not, leading to the dog potentially going after anyone who touches the child. Offering up her simple fix, Diane advises: "Don't treat your dog like a child, you have to respect the dog for what it is. "The dog, in order to be comfortable, has to be at the bottom of the pack. If you put them at the top of the pack, they will start bossing the kids around." On training and leadership, she adds: "Owners need to learn to be a pack leader, by being consistent. Once the owner shows they can take control of their dog, the dog will listen." Advertisement Most read in Fabulous Dogs are also deeply sensitive to their human companions, with their behaviour often mirroring the owner's temperament. Diane says that many dogs arriving in her care demonstrate issues directly linked to their previous home environments. INCREDIBLE moment hero vet staff save dog from choking on favourite toy And sadly, these are dogs other rescue centres might deem too challenging. Many dogs display anxiety, reactivity, or withdrawal due to picking up on their owner's mood or stress. Advertisement Border Collies, in particular, are highly sensitive to their surroundings and human energy. Originally bred for rural life, they can be noise sensitive and do not thrive in overly loud or chaotic environments, such as homes with constant shouting or screaming children. Their needs for extensive exercise arevery important, and a lack of this - coupled with frequent owner absence - can lead to severe separation anxiety and hyperactiveness. Advertisement Common behavioural issues often stem from a lack of consistent love and control within the household.

Diane said: "I believe 100% a dog is a mirror image of yourself; if you are hyperactive, your Collie will be the same.
