hi to everyone and all the best for the new year. this is my first time on here hope my question makes sense
i recently lost my job due to the current financial climate. i have since started cleaning for a few of my friends. i notified the tax office i was selfempolyed and i am able to get child tax credit and working tax credit totalling £175 weekly as my earnings are very small.
i have a morguage of £819 a month and 2 children to feed i am a single parent.
does anyone know if i would be better off claiming job seekers as i am looking for another full time job and that way i may be able to get help with my morguage interest payments.
i would be great full for any info thanks very much
