    I doubt that very much.

    If in private rental you would get the LHA rate for a one bedroom property and have to pay the rental difference, part council tax, all bills from £112 per week....and if your current debts are £600 per month you would end up in further debt very quickly.
    Best to encourage her even to take a few hours part time...every penny is additional income into the household

    She's applied for 9+ jobs this week alone, so hopefully we'll get some news of an interview soon!

    Find the whole entitlement thing a minefield!!

    It was more of getting my income upped for next few months while we sort out work and finish off the debts.
