Child support from father/s
Child tax credits
DLA (possibly for disabled child)

Easier if you tell us what you actually get at the minute.

You can persue child support even though he is in Canada

Out of curiosity, what is the overall income you currently receive each week across child benefit, child tax credits and DLA and what is the loss now that the bursary replaces the joint claim for JSA?

Does your eldest receive a grant or bursary?

What sort of college course is your partner on? If it is degree level, does he get a loan as well as his bursary?
