Honestly, I don't know the entire story about this landlady, but from what I've read here, you've definitely made the right decision and even if things go to plan, or improve, at least you've got some support from the kind of people that know what they're doing. I've never really had any trouble with a landlord, and often got myself out of a place before it got bad, but I think that's just down to the fact that I tend to get feelings from people and avoid the crappy ones.
I can see the downfall in the changing of category for your work, I think it's sort of how it works here in New Zealand, but I can't entirely be sure as I've never had a full time job. If it wasn't going backwards then it would be no problem, but I suppose it's down to the fact that it costs the government slash employers? I'm not sure, but I see both sides, it just makes it crappy because you're all used to things a certain way and it does make life difficult for those who do get sick, or are to get sick in the future.
Sick people definitely don't need that extra worry. They need to find a middle ground, rather than just choking it down so much. Like... putting in a clause for people that are terminally ill or have certain problems that arise, by, I don't know, covering them for a full medical examination and getting the sick person assessed. We have something here, called ACC which covers accidents, and then we have to rely on things like our insurance for everything else.
Either way, it's nice to read about it, I really am curious, so keep us updated on that and try not to worry too much, I don't want you getting sick. Take care.
