    How many hours do you work at the moment? If you can't work longer hours, I wonder if you'd be entitled to WTC with the disability element.

    water rates also seems high. are you on a meter?

    our rates were £43 - switched to a meter and we only pay £25 a month. you have the choice to switch back within the first year if you don't save money (but you will).

    do you claim any dla that you are entitled to?

    i echo the car insurance re. work. ?can you claim this against tax or not?

    do you also get petrol money from work too?
