Hello. I'm new to this website.. So not sure if I'm writinvg in the right place.
So I am a single mum to 3.8 year old Ashley. He is currently at full time nursery due to me getting a job.... So I got this fantastic opportunity to work in pharmacy where I can progress into becoming a technician or even pharmacist. I was so excited to get the job, as its a shift pattern - 25hrs a week which suited me with little help (nursery+childminder). I am already progressing with getting the training for pharmacy counter assistant (legal requirement). But all of the sudden I get this information from housing office that they won't be helping me with the cost towards my accommodation. Its a big blow to us because in renting a private 2bed flat that cost 1300 a month, and I also have been refused council tax benefit. So tking this into account: I am earning on average £700 a month... Nursery fees are £149 per week(my little one is goin reception from September which will be a big relief), the everyday costs of food and gas electric, clothes and other stuff. Now this council tax £100 a month + £90 per week for rent... I've been even threatened by landlord that he will Lick me out soon! I don't know what to do? Do I leave my job and go back on benefits? Do I appeal to housing office? What do I do? In desperate!
