Single Mum financial help?

[Painting345]

I am a single mother, my daughter will be at school while I am at university.
I get my student loan and a parents grant too. Child benefit also. They total about £950 a month. I'm guessing I will stay on child tax credit or move to working tax if I need to work too. Will I get any government help or do they consider £950 enough income? Any income support or housing benefit? Or will it be job seekers?
Thank you!

Housing benefit is usually always means tested against your other consider earnings each week. Look on your local housing allowance site and it will give you a idea of what income is included. Student loans is not considered as income for tax credits so that is disregarded. Some grants are disregarded and some aren't. Looks like yours will be disregarded.

I imagine you will get CB, child tax credits (working tax if your single parent and work 16 hours).. housing allowance, council tax support. And if single 25% of council tax. Maintenance?

Is your are universal credits or tax credits still?

Ps when I was a single parent I earnt £250 a week, £170 tax credits and still got £70 a week towards housing allowance. (Rent was £700)

Remember you will get free prescriptions too x
