Post up some more details so that people can offer the correct advice.

Do you work? Are you already claiming child tax credits? What benefits are you currently receiving?

Agree with above.

This depends on what your circumstances are.
You should be getting Child Benefit and may be able to get child tax credits.
You should be receiving Child Maintanence from the father of the child.
Are you working? How old is the child? Do you have any savings?

You may be able to claim low income benefits such as housing benefit and council tax benefit.

Put your details into the direct.gov.uk benefits calculator and turn2us benefits calculators to see what you are entitled to claim.

It may be worth calling the JCP benefits advisors and going through your circumstances with them and also making an appointment with your local council to discuss housing benefit and council tax benefit

Is English not your first language?
