I am a single parent to 18 mth old dd and am looking for a little advice. I Currently claim universal credit (pointless) as it’s only £80 a month and just wondered what help you can get with childcare costs please. Also has anyone had any help with support for interest costs on their mortgage please??

Childcare cost are now part of universal credits. And can cover up to 85% of the costs. Have you informed them of your costs?

There is no longer help with the interest part of mortgages. It is now a loan I believe.

Are you getting support from the child's father?
