Is BR my only option?

We got CB upto last month. That and child tax credit has now stopped.
Even if she does decide to go to college any extra money won't come in until sept. then it won't be a lot. She's 18 in 2 weeks time.
Thanks anyway Bat.
I feel like i've been put in a barrell and told to go and stand in a corner. this is horrid and frustrating.

why is it the only time money comes before work is in the dictionary???

Based on your wages I don't think you're receiving enough WTC and HB. I realise you must have given them the right info about your income but I wonder if it's worth checking with them again...I only suggest this cos I've had experience of underpayments.

I can't really see how you can reduce your outgoings anymore.

Am about to re-apply for TC. I had problems last year where i changed jobs too frequently that they couldn't keep up (lol was only 3 job changes but was having a mid-life crisis-totally settled now)
With luck they owe my thousands...:p
As for HB i have only just put int he application so its fairly up-to-date i think. though i will double check with them in about a months time when things are more sorted.
Thanks for taking the time to reply:j

Thanks Bat, and trust me if BR become smy only option i will NEED all the help i can get. So dumb at money issues though i am careful with it, just crap at legal type stuff.
This all seems sooo daunting
