Hi Rainy Day, and welcome to the forum.
There are lots of people on here who can advise you, but will need some more info first.
What benefits (if any) are you getting?
How much do you earn?
Are you renting or mortgage?
Do you get any help from the childrens dad?
Please give as much info as you can, as it helps the people on here.0 -
If you could find another 6 hours work you would be able to claim working tax credits.0

Don't forget you can always get financial support from the children from their father. If he doesn't do it willingly, you could apply through CSA0

to see a benefit you need to work 16hours. between 16 and 20 but not like me 30. You need to go from income support to working tax credit to make your life easier. Also get correct maintenance off non resident parent.0
