Currently I live with my 2 sons in a horrible little council house on a horrible rough estate with horrible schools and a horrible atmosphere!
After christmas I am hoping to start part time work, I ultimately want to move into a private rented house. I have seen a lovely one in a perfect area for £395 a month, is this excessive? I am hoping to get help with the rent even though it will be privately let and I know they're funny about helping people who are paying more than they need to...
I have been on "entitledto" but the amount they say I'd get seems a little unrealistic, according to them I would be bringing in around £1400 a month working 20 hours a week inc working tax credits, child tax credits, mainanance, child benefit and housing benefit, does this seem unrealistic?
I'm so desperate to move from this area, please help if you can
