My mum I find this all vague no one tells you the budgeting figures I can work to. I'll take my chances I can't survive on 400 a month no one can especially not in a city if they realistically cancel it over that not sure what I'll do.. Anyway thanks I'll sort this out myself.0

Have a look at a benefits calculator and see what your benefits would drop to if you get a pert time job.
Do you remember what your DRO showed, was it a a positive balance but less than £75 a month, or a negative balance?
You are allowed to pay your mum for some rent and bills in a DRO. It may well be that a part time job does not take you over the 75 a month limit.0 -
