Hi can anyone advise please, I am on incapacity benefit and my husband has just been made redundant (he has a 2 year contract just finished from a university). I'm very worrried about money, have just been having several operations and feeling really drained. I have had a check and it seems we might qualify for some tax credits, I'm not sure. It's just that I need him to help me with the children at the moment too so it's really difficult. I'm wondering how we can make ends meet as he doesn't seem to be getting anywhere with job applications. The mortgage is not the biggest problem it's the bills really. I hope we don't have to sell our flat as renting would be more expensive. This has all had an awful effect on the two litttle boys too, I feel one is withdrawn and the other suffering at school too. Thanks for any advice.
