Hi, If any of your children are under 5 then you can claim Income Support, if they are all over 5 then you would have to claim JSA. You do get some help towards the mortgage interest with both of them after an initial 13 wk waiting period.0

The above is only if you are not in employment.
If you are then Child tax credit and Working tax credit are all you would get.0 -
You're best off posting in the benefits board as this isn't the best place. X0
