in Benefits & tax credits
I am looking to move in together with a women I have 3 kids with , 5 year old, 4 year old and under 1. I need to private rent but would like to know what sort of help we might be entitled to. I currently only earn 17000 a year. Would we get much help?

would rather know how much we need to budget before we move in.

Any help would be much appreciated as goverment websites and citzens advise cannot really say how much we may or may not be enintitled to.

    Does she have any children? Does she work? if, so how many hours and what's her wage? I think it'd just be tax credits.
