You need to inform Income Support straight away otherwise you will be overpaid. Child Benefit should continue and you will need new claim for Tax credits.

The annoying thing is no one will give you a timescale for processing. the best thing to do is ring Tax credits, be upfront and explain you are hoping your partner will be moving in soon and ask for advice. Is there any emergency provision?

He's earning less than minimum wage, is there not better work being employed working for someone?

he can only work between school times as i have
Agoraphobia ( Fear of open spaces or of being in crowded, public places like markets. Fear of leaving a safe place) due to my past!
he has to time it around my children which 1 of them finishes at 11.15am from nursery and sometimes i can't go out some days are better than others, thats why he works for him self..
