Hello! and can anyone help? my head is spinning!

Hello gorgeous Mummies!

I'm joining you lovely girls over here after finally getting rid of OH

Long story short, he is an alcoholic, drug addicted, manipulative, lying, emotionally abusive, woman chasing scumbag and i'm so relieved to be rid of him!

I'm actually looking forward to mine and Harrys journey into single parent land as I get him all to myself and I get to be me again without someone stressing me out 24/7. I'm feeling so unbelieveably positive!

I am ever so slightly concerned about money though... the directgov website is doing my nut in.

Can anyone just give me a simple list of benefits etc that I would be entitled to claim for now? I do have a job if that helps

Thanks

hi there and welcome!!

if you are working depending on how much you earn you will get your working tax credits and childcare paid for (up to 80%) and maybe income support and housing benefit and council tax credit. if you live on your own with lo you will get a 25% discount anyway for being a single adult.

hope that helps! any more questions then just ask or pm me
