    Working Tax Credits will help and a back to work bonus, 4 week HB & CTB run on and possibly the lone parent in work credit paid for the first year, I dont think the enterprise allowance scheme has done away with this just yet.

    Some of the above are only available if you have been on benefits for a certain time.

    Talk to you lone parent adviser at the JObcentre as they have a discretionary fund that could help.
