You can try and claim jobseekers allowance if you are looking for a job. That may pay you £71.00 a week for yourself. You can claim child tax credits based on your new level of income and you will still have your child benefit. You can also try claiming on your mortgage payment protection insurance to make the mortgage payment. If you don't have insurance you will have to borrow the money from somewhere or miss the payment. You will not be out on the street for a long time so missing a mortgage payment is not a problem if you get a job soon.Hello i'm looking for advice please.
