thanks for that

can Ijust be cheeky? how much roughly do you get a week?

we originally tried to work it out and it was better for my husband to get a job, but he is so ill now and no one will employ him.

also they never take into account what bills you have going out. due to our IVA we have cut back to bare min. but we still have to pay it all and pay our mortgage.

I am just really worried that we wont get enough financial help from benefits to cover it all,

I wish they could just tell you and give you a simple answer.

If you are in an IVA you must tell your IP your change in circumstances asap. You will be paying out far too much in order for you to live.

The WTC varies a lot - I am single, have no children but am disabled, so my WTC would be totally different to yours with children. The only way you will find out is to apply.

I was told that I didn't qualify - sent in an application anyway and got it!
