What do you mean 'free house'?

franch · 26/08/2007 11:58

I'd guess you mean council house sasa?

Sasa have you tried Citizens Advice Bureau? Sounds like you need a lot of support and information. You don't say what your relationship troubles are?

You would get income support, housing benefit, council tax benefit, poosible help with finding a new home (council or private let) eg deposit and first month paid for you.

When I split with my ex, my ds was 3, i got all of the above, plus you will get childrens tax credits.

No sasa it is based on need. Find your nearest Citizens Advice.

Council houses aren't free and many benefits are means tested so if you have savings or a stake in the house that will be taken itno account. Your h would be expected to pay soem maintenance. You could perhaps get a job possibly before your child goes to school as at 3 you qualify for some free nursery sessions fudned by LEA and would maybe be eligible for help with childcare throguh tax credits. You really need to visit CAB or a solictor to work out what your entitlements are and register with the Council for a property who will assess your eligibilty for rehousing and the waiting list would vary from one area to another.

sasa,

the house - you sometimes have to wait a LONG time before you can get a council house, and it is not always free. It might be better to rent a private house or flat and apply for housing benefit, which will pay some of your rent for you. I got about £250 per month towards my rent when I was a single mother but if he pays you maintenance it will be less. If you try to claim benefits he will HAVE to pay you maintenance. It does not matter if you have already been married.

I hope you find a solution and start feeling better soon xx
