Hi,
My daughter which I have had constant contact with since birth moved in with me at the end of January this year,i am severely disabled so unable to work
I do not speak to my daughters mother,i would like to ask if theres any financial help I am eligible for towards her upkeep, i haven't bothered about contacting 
her mother as I can't deal with the abuse and stress, i could do with any eligible financial helps have always paid my last for anything she needs while she stayed at mums
but I'm beginning to get stressed that I can't provide financially now she lives with merits taken 4 months for me to ask if theres help,thanks in advance.

Phoenix
