I have a 7 month old, have severe mental health issues that affect my day to day life. I get £600 a month which doesn’t last- especially not with how expensive everything is.
how can I honestly make money from home without it being surveys- I have no talents or skills.
im desperate and my life cannot continue this way

Op are you on your own or do you have a partner?

LittleMrsPerfect · 21/04/2023 21:35

Can you claim PIP?

or UC depending if you partner and their income?

What is the source of the £600? You say “get” rather than earn, which is why I’m asking.

More info is needed to give advice OP. Is the £600 maternity pay? Do you have a partner? Claim benefits etc?

Anything you earn over I think it's 75 will be taken off if you have benefits at all. Maybe concentrate on healing first and then look to get a job outside the home.

£600 total seems very low. Is that to cover housing costs as well? If it is then it’s definitely worth checking to see if there’s more that you can claim. The process of applying for PIP isn’t quick but if you have severe mental health issues then you should be able to claim. You could also look into food pantries/community kitchens for certain things and also apps like Olio can be a help.
