A FATHER who cares for his severely disabled son will be stripped of his carer payment and forced to go on the unemployment benefit because of a clash between his Family Court orders and social security law.
The former long-distance truck driver gave up his job to look after his son, who has cerebral palsy. But he will be $111 a week worse off, and will also lose the annual $600 carer supplement, after Centrelink notified him of the pending disqualification.
