I am a relative recent lone parent and still on mat leave and going back to full time work in September. Now I earn a decent salary but it just doesn't cover the basics, having looked at entitledto.co.uk it seems I am not eligible for any tax credits etc.
Do I have any other options? Am happy to break down earnings/outgoings if it would help but at the moment it seems like I can't afford to work. So what happens, am I supposed to just go on benefits?
