Found out yesterday that my husband has a meeting on the 20th to try and fight to save his job. He is currently Rui but his employer is giving him a disciplinary due to them not being notified about the investigation (we was told by both oic and ss that this was done, but now this is happening of course they're both denying it). To say I'm worried is an understatement. His wage is the only one in our home due to me having an illness (that's isn't classed as a disability) and with his job our home is included. So we won't just lose our income we'd lose our home as well. Haven't me and my girls been put through enough already? Seems this whole process is one step forward and 3 steps back. Just needed a little rant.

Bless you. What severe consequences these crimes have on the innocent, it's just not fair - on our journey I lost a lot too.

So sorry to read your issues Mumof3

I know it's not ideal but there is always universal credit and local council if you do lose your house. UC will give you enough to survive on until your hubby gets another job. His current firm should give you time to find an alternative place to stay as you have children and they shouldn't just be able to turn you out.

On the brighter side, it may not happen. The meeting could very well go smoothly and your husband keeps his job. Come 21st, it could all be fine.

I'm not going to say to try not to worry about things that haven't happened yet. I think everyone in this group is living proof that that isn't possible. Look after your own health in order to keep your family together, I know we all skim over that bit to concentrate on other things. Maybe have a think about what options are available to you if the worst does happen. I always feel better of I know all the possible outcomes and following actions.

As if the reason we are here osnt bad enough! Thinking of you, take care.

Thanks ladies, it is in his contract unfortunately but he's been with the company for 10 years so wasn't aware this was a clause and as I said we was told it had been done, twice. I've basically been on action since I've heard this was a possibility and set out a plan on who to contact and what to do if the worst is to happen. I will definitely note down all your advice as well. I always like to be ready for any outcome so I'm prepared and can deal with it as quickly as possible especially with my children involved.

He's a manager of a retirement home. Thanks hun. I suppose with the initial shock of everything going on it was easy to not remember everything. Our main priority was making sure our 3 children was ok. It is what it is I guess. Will definitely look into them thanks x
