I'm posting on behalf of my sister who has recently split from her husband - divorce is pending. She is a primary school teacher but is struggling to cope with the demands of her job combined with the new demands of becoming a single parent - she was part time until Sept when she went full time as year leader, her marriage broke down two weeks later.
Her husband is unreliable in his agreed maintainence payments at the moment and she wishes to return to part time or maybe supply work.
Can anyone advise what she may be eligible to claim in terms of Child or Working Tax Credits and anything else which may help. Is there such a thing as single parent benefit?
