Any HEs claiming Income Support as a Lone Parent?

[MsPontipine]

How are the proposed changes going to affect you?

ie having to claim Jobseekers Allowance when youngest child reaches 7/12 ??

me. And I'm starting to think about how I can earn money from home, so that we can carry on home-edding. Just enough to scrape by.
Tbh, I hate being on income support. I hate the dependance.
What about you?

I was just wondering - I do claim IS as a LP but ds(5) is very happy and acheiving at his school.
I am full of admiration for HEs and often visit this thread, often for hints on ways to back up his school education myself at home.

Won't get the income support anymore when youngest is 7 (2 years time). Therefore will need to earn money instead.

Have you seen this site that has info about what EO is doing WRT lone parents & JSA & what you can do to help:

AHEd Action for Home Education have a Wikki page about this subject here

This won't affect those HEing children with special needs who get DLA.
