I receive carers allowance- I look after a child of 9 years who had additional needs - my 18 month old son attends nursery so that I can provide this care. I split with my sons father a couple of months ago. We still live together as own a house but I want to have a place away from him. Anyways, I need to reconfirm my details with gov childcare but does this mean I won't get 15 hours funded childcare anymore as we aren't a couple? I'm struggling so bad. I can no longer cover nursery costs and am living off 750 a month which is supposed to pay £400 nursery fees, £350 mortgage and then another £300-£400 utilities, that's all without considering money to feed my son. I've never been on UC until last month. Always worked, gave up work as my ex said he would support us. I'm in my 30s and just don't know what to do. I just keep getting told to speak to citizens advice. How is £750 supposed to cover the bills? I'm wanting to go into employment but If I take my son out of childcare - I have to give a month's notice - I can't go to work as the childcare waiting list is over a year. I'm sick with anxiety. This isn't even mentioning the fact all this is just getting me into debt with no hope of leaving my living situation. I feel hopeless and can't stop crying. Please no hate, I can't take much more. Any advice please? Anyone else in the same situation?
