To be worried?

[RollonBed]

New to mumsnet, just joined purely because its all i can think about. Love reading other threads though.

Ok, so the cap comes into place tomorrow 384 pound a week. Im a single psrent 2ith 4 children. How on earth an i expected to pay rent out of this and live? I will have to pay £104 pound rent a week! Thats 280 to buy food, petrol, gas, electric, water... yes i pay monthly for these but each week i make sure i set aside 50 pound... its said some 300,000 children will be pushed into poverty and people may loose there home over it. Im so worried i cant eat or sleep!! Should i be worried. aibu to think this is such an unecessary thing gor goverment to do?

No-one pays a solicitor to 'push for an appeal' they pay a solicitor for represent them at appeal.

Not necessarily so. A friend had to do this when a school wouldn't believe she had a right of appeal, and she had to threaten court proceedings to get them to wake up.

The LEA lost their argument with my DDs appeal as one, the ICS doesn't apply above once you get to year 3 (something for OP to think of in the near future if her DCs are still on a waiting list)

Not the near future if they are 4 and 5.

OP I hope you are okay and haven't been scared away from asking for advice on here. Mumsnet can be wonderful at times and then downright bizarre at others. You have been given some excellent advice. It takes a very brave woman to do what you've done and I wish you and your DCs all the best

Possibly not the most exciting postt here, but I am a stickler for detail; so have to mention it.
OP - You say that DH left you with debts (early on it thread), but later in thread you say that you had savings at the time of the incident and that DH 'made sure he got half', how was this possible for him to do when he was arrested for the assault? He surely had no control over your/joint finances when arrested and charged? How did he do this? And more to the point - could this not be rectified? It sounds like you had a very comfortable financial set up prior to it all going wrong - why did he incur debts with that income?
Sorry if this is abstract - just something I have been mulling over.

Oh gosh - just seen how old this thread is! Apologies for restarting it - ignore me!
That'll teach me to trawl through old AIBU's!
