You should try an online benefit tester sweetie, It should tell you pretty accurate amounts. I THINK you'll be entitled to Houing Benefit, CTC, Child benefit and Income Support. x

SOrry to hear! (REcognise you from Toddlers section)

I split up with my ex 3 months ago. I get Income Support, Child Benefit and Tax Credits, and also Housing benefit, and 4 Milk tokens a month. Curious as to why you are on Jobseekers as opposed to Income SUpport?
