3 children's worth of child benefit could do them a lot of good now!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Not everyone gets child tax credit, it is only for families earning less than about £50k a year.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Sorry Chocs, you do get handouts from the state: I have sympathy for your overcrowding but at least we now have clarity on the handouts you get from the state...
Can we kindly please have confirmation of no HB/LHA???

You might qualify for HB/LHA.. (until the govt makes the rules tighter..)
Bit of extra ££ might give you some more flexibility??
