Financial support/benefits for WFH FT lone mum on £35K?

[ChasingRainbows14]

Recently separated from my husband and going through divorce proceedings. I’m fortunate, as things are (currently) very amicable. We have 2 children - 10 and 8 yo.

I work full time and my salary is £35K, which fortunately is allowing me to remain in the family home with the kids for now (as long as the informal cm payments, that we established and agreed from the cm website continue).

From a benefits and financial support perspective, I want to find out as a lone parent if I might be entitled to anything to help supplement our living costs and after school /out of term time childcare payments.

I appreciate my salary is higher than the thresholds for the more obvious benefits that are available, but eager to find out if there’s anything I might be able to tap in to.

TIA :)

I wouldn't think so. But try the benefits calculator.

Should that 20k benefit cap rise with inflation - 20k is not the 20k it used to be.

Quick afterthought- I guess a lot of people with jobs earning 20k and possibly even less than that are unlikely to have experienced pay rises in line with inflation so perhaps not as necessary as first thought.
