Not sure if this is in the right forum but...
As a lone parent I've worked part time (I want to take and pick up my child from school) in a crappy minimum pay job for nearly 2 years now. I am always in debt and have huge difficulty paying my rent and other bills. I'm always selling things I'd rather not on Ebay just to get by. I do get tax credits but it works out I was still better off when I was on income support, by £12 per week.
This morning I got a visit from my landlord serving a notice on me. I owe money that I simply don't have and never will do. Can I leave my job to go back on income support? Will I still get them if I leave voluntarily?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
