Sorry for the rant !! Need to just let it out. No money at all. Internet and tv and homephonr cut…

As long as u have food and the baby has food , broadband is a luxury! Iv been in the same boat it’s not nice , r u on income support and taxcredits x

@srose1989 well baby defo has food. And no im not all i get ia child benifit. I dont know what else im entitled to till i get p60 and go job centre to find out. Which i cant do till end of month.

Well if ur not working then u will get income support and the baby will get his money it will eaither be income support or universal credit , ad just ring up income support line x

Okay thank you. I do work but on maternity leave atm x

@sammy280118 surely if your a single mum and work you should be entitled to working tax credits xx

I dont know ? Im not sure what im entitled too or where to even start.

Why im hoping to go job centre to find out and gdt some help. I dont know where else to go ?

@sammy280118 how much do you earn usually from work a year? Xx

@michellewiggins1985 i dont know as i only started the job last year end of feb. So feb just gone will be a year and i left on mat in december x

What u earned don’t matter when u go on benifts u need to ring tax credits and put a claime in for child tax and then ring income support x

@srose1989 I didn't think you could get income support as well as maternity x

@sammy280118 I would put a claim in for tax credits asap as they won't back date after so many days xz

No u can’t get maternity and income support x

One or other init x

@sammy280118 are you getting maternity pay? X

@michellewiggins1985 yeh statuary however you spell it

@sammy280118 then I defo think your entitled to child tax and working tax credit they have a calculator online that should tell you if your entitled xx

@michellewiggins1985 ive tried doing tge calculator but need my p60 which isnt available till end of this month

@sammy280118 if you work out your earnings from work and then your benefits it should give you a rough amount x
