So sorry about the job, yep Income support isn't the best of money, have you gone onto entitledto.com (or .co.uk always get them muddled up), would the child tax credit increase?

Good luck with the caring job, really hope that works out, have u got any redundancy pay to come, that might help with the mortgage.

U take care, if theres anything I can do just shout xx

Thanks no Redundancy pay company has just gone pop.
Really hoping to get the job as it will be better than claiming benifits its just a pain and i worry like heck,
I did entiltle to and that says imentitled to £274 a week but not sure what for I have my interview on Wednesday.

Good luck is ur interview wed for the car job, or the job centre? if its the job centre, its ideal to take as much documentation with you that you can.
have you got hold of Tax credits - your change of circumstances, they may be able to adjust your money for the better? x

I rang them yesterday and i will lose £90 a week as I am no longer in work! but there is a 4 week run on,
Interview is the job centre, I just dont know how much they are going to give me till then. I am going to ring the care job monday to see what they got for me if anything!
Thanks for your help, How is everything with you?

Sorry if this sounds cheeky, but if your a single parent like me, Is £60.50, child tax credit is about £40 pw, then £20 cb, your get ur council tax benefit pd, (applied for seperately), then 13 weeks 4 mortgage, or as I keep trying to do find a sugar daddy..........but thats not working either!!!

Everything ok for once, which makes a change, thou 2mor taking dd and her friend 2 c Nims Island (on £1, kids film), then Mcdonalds 4 dinner, so may be grey, nearly bald and a nervous wreck!

u take care, if theres anything I can help with or u need a friend to moan at, just shout or pm me. x
