I have signed a settlement agreement to leave my job (following years of bullying from my boss). The amount I am to be paid is reasonable but I won't be able to live on it for long (I am a single mum with a baby to support).
Does anyone know if I can claim any benefits such as JSA, housing benefit, council tax support? If so, should I tell them about the settlement agreement and the amount received (their is a clause in the agreement to say I can disclose the details in order to receive benefits)?.
Many thanks,
