    Trust me - time is a great healer. Things look bleak at the moment, but once you get sorted out, you've got a whole life out there to enjoy.

    Take care xx

    Hi,

    Be very careful using this website, as it tends to quote more entitlement to Income Support than is the case in reality! I entered my details on there, and was quoted £148 p/w IS plus CTC of £44 p/w. However, once my claim was processed, I was entitled to £57.45 in IS and £44 in CTC. Apparently IS no longer pays for any children you have, this is covered by CTC. This is what I was told when I queried the amount of IS I'm entitled to. The £57.45 is apparently the maximum amount of IS payable for a single adult, regardless of how many children you have (I have one son).

    It may be useful to speak to the CAB and also make an appointment to see a Lone Parent Advisor at your local jobcentre - my advisor was extremely helpful!

    Good luck, it's a tough time, but you'll get through it.
