Benefits for single parents

[Perrier60]

my husband and I are separating, I will be returning to the UK with two teenage children. What benefits can I expect to get, whilst looking for work.

That is an important issue, so try and find Government web sites that deal with such things.

have a look at the CAB's website advice guide.org.uk and look under Benefits.

Also turn2us.org.uk. It's a charity which helps people with benefits.

If you come from living abroad, you could be hit by the Habitual Residence Test even if you are a UK citizen. You will find a section on Adviceguide about it.
