Probably been asked a million times

But how does it work with being a single mum - 4 kids - full time student and tax credits and housing benefit please ?
The calculators don't seem to like the student option do they ?
Thank you

As far as I can gather you'd get:

-housing benefit due to the children
-council tax exemption if you're a full time student and no other adult is living at your address
-child benefit
child tax credits
-I believe you can also get working tax credits if you get a part-time job of 16 hours along your studies
-student loan/bursery depending on degree and country
-some sort of payments towards childcare also depending on where you are and what exactly you're doing

Does that help?

That's brilliant thank you

Why? Is the OP from overseas? That would change a lot I think.

Ok

I'm not from overseas and having children means I don't pay overseas fees

Double check with your local council about housing benefit as I wasn't allowed when I was a student single parent.

No they don't when you have children to support, better than paying me income support I guess

I'm a full time student and entitled to no housing benefit.
