Loans when on tax credits

I would like to take out a loan for home improvements but as I am a single parent working part-time I would like my tax credits (child and working), child maintenance and if possible maintenance from childrens father (this is informal agreement) to be taken into account. Does anyone know of a suitable lender without me going to each individual one and asking the question?

    A lot of lenders will take those into account but it depends if they accept part time employment.

    Most will only accept maintenance if it is court agreed or through the CSA.

    Why not start at the bank where your money is paid in?
