Can anyone help me? will try to be brief, I have never posted before so please bear with me..I have split from my childs father and I am trying to get my finances sorted. If I go on IS I understand that I get to keep £10 pw of any maintence due to be paid. what happens if he pays any of my bills or part of my mortgage/endowment premiums, are these amounts taken into account??

Any regular payments recieved are income and must be declared.
Most people are better off financially working and claiming Tax Credits and then being able to keep their child maintinance."On behalf of teachers, I'd like to dedicate this award to Michael Gove and I mean dedicate in the Anglo Saxon sense which means insert roughly into the anus of."
