The former soldier discovered he qualified for a life-changing payment that many people don't know about
As an unemployed single father to a young a daughter with learning difficulties , Martin Hassall was not in a good place.
He said: “I was struggling for a long time. I was on Universal Credit, grateful for what I received but we were just getting by. After food and bills, we literally had a few pounds left. “I realised Harper might be eligible for it, decided to apply and got it without any issue. It completely changed things for us. On Universal Credit I was left with £2.77 a month – with Child Disability Payment I had £97. When you have nothing, that is a huge amount of money. It meant I could do things to support her learning difficulties.
Martin said: “Concert for Carers was fantastic. It was amazing night and to be honest, I thought Harper would be overwhelmed but she loved it. She has also been signed up by a modelling agency. Nothing’s happened with that yet, but it doesn’t really matter. If you had told me this is where we would be 18 months ago, I would never have believed you.”
