    £50 a day every day until end of june

    he pays everything including food and gives me £100 a weeks cash

    i get tax credits paid into my account and some house keeping

    What is worrying you?

    Why isn't £50 a day enough to manage? Is there anything particular that you have to pay?

    I feel your pain. £50 a day after food and bills and bus fares. It's hardly any life. I'm suprised your children aren't starving. I'm not sure what else you can claim unless there are disabilities you've not mentioned.

    Have you tried a foodbank?
