im currently on the old system of tax credit and child tax credit and get a tiny bit of hb to top up my rent , currently on maternity leave from my 26 hour a week job. my mum loves alone and hates it. Is being made redundant but shy of 3 years from her pension . She wants to purchase somewhere we can live together so she is not alone and I can still work and cover the bills , she will have no income , can I still claim help from either universal credits or stay on the old system? As I will still need to support 4 children only difference is I wont have to pay rent ? Possibly a small mortgage if we would need to borrow ? Does anyone know if this is something we can do , dont want to take the plunge to find im.supporting 6 of us on my measly less then a grand wage. TIA
