Hi there
Can anyone tell me what financial assistance I may be entitled to as a single parent? I have a mortgage and am really scared of losing my home but also of having to go back to work too soon after the birth. Plus then there is the whole, childcare issue as I have no family who would help out.
My job is not well paid anyway, it's part time so I also get about half my income by being self employed on a part time basis, but my second job is going to be very hard to do with a baby. Do you get any help if you own your own home?
So far all I know is I can get the £123 a week maternity pay but I can't live on this.
Any advice gratefully recieved.
