Well I've got my mess sorted out thanks to some helpful people on here now wanted to ask about my son...
He graduated uni last month. Has a part time job about 20 hrs per week..Think he brings home about 90-100 per week. He is paying £50 for his rent a week ( 4 others living in house)They share the rent which is £1,000 a month.. Then he has to find his gas, electric , water and food....He has been living like this for months and having a struggle...I take him food as often as I can but just wondered should he be claiming anything....Sorry completely new to claiming stuff.

He really needs to find a full time job or another part time job to go with what he already has. Don't encourage him to claim benefits as it will demotivate him and encourage the wrong attitude.0
