I'm in the unfortunate position if having to apply for universal credit...I thought it would be job seekers, but was informed otherwise today.
I have two children and no savings to fall back on.
I have a new job staring on September 1st but I have been working for an agency so no holiday pay or pay over summer teaching agency
I'm really worried that I won't manage after being benefit and debt free for years. Is it as bad as I'm thinking? All advice great fully received!

The CAB have got quite a bit of advice about it including a calculator to give you a rough indication of what you should be able to claim. Remember it has to include your rent as well.

Good luck, I hope things work out for you.
