Newly separated. Navigating how to do life on my own. Please help.

What's available for nurses, financial help wise without having to reduce hours. I would like to carry on working full time, but salary might not be enough to live on my own. Any ideas? New here! xx

Benefits / universal credit? Google turn2us benefits calculator. You can do it anonymously and hypothetically.

It depends on too many things to say, for example how much you earn, whether you rent or own your home, how much you have in savings, if you have kids/childcare costs… agree with PP you’re best off putting you details into entitled to and see what that says x

You'll need to learn how to live cheaper. I found it the hardest part tbh but it's part of being single.

Do you have a Blue Light card? Get 3.5% off in most supermarkets by getting instant gift cards

RCN have a benevolent fund to help nurses in financial difficulties.

Speal to your union. They will be able to give you advice. Also look at the benefits calculator, if you have children they will be taking into account .
Make sure you apply for council tax discount as a single person household ( only 1 adult there)
Also speak to the water company. They may reduce it for you.
