Leaving partner and moving back to my mums, what will I be entitled to if anything,?

[PirateJelly]

I know there is a similar thread to this, but the op there has a different situation,so I need to ask.

Me and ex partner live together and have a 15 month old ds, the property is mortgaged but due to my poor credit it's in my partners name not mine. I'm currently working 8 hours a week but will have to leave that job as my mums house is over an hours drive away.

My mum has said I can move back in with her for a while untill I get back on my feet. She is single and earns about 23k a year, I am 26 and although I am sure she will help me in some ways, she will not be supporting me and I will have to pay her rent for expenses plus buy extra food and pay my exsisting debts and outgoings.

I have been on the 'entitled to' website and understand what I would receive if I was living on my own but I'm very confused as to what I would receive while living with a parent.

Is it the same i.e maximum child tax credits, income support and child benefit but no housing or council tax benefit? Or will I receive a smaller amount?

Ex partner will most likely pay maintainance but I understand this doesn't count towards benefitss anymore anyway. I hope to get a new job as soon as I'm settled and hopefully claim working tax credit, but will be claiming IS in the mean time.

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, you won't be able to claim a lot if anything, as you will be living with your parent, you need to go and see an advisor at your local job center.

"Is it the same i.e maximum child tax credits, income support and child benefit but no housing or council tax benefit? "

This is what I am entitled to living with family. I think that if it was just me and my mum she would remain entitled to single person council tax too - but never checked it out as my brother lives at home too.

For tax credits I'm counted as a separate household whether unemployed or working.

(meant I think she'd be entitled to single person occupancy council tax if I was on Income support, no idea about higer rate WTC)
