I know how you feel! I live alone and have a company pension so I get no benefits either. You are now entitled to a 25% reduction on your council tax.......... but that's about it. Have you considered taking in a lodger to help with the expenses? Of course you would have to discuss this with your landlord but most are amenable to this.
Your local CAB could also be helpful if you need help to rationalise your expenditure.
Wishing you all the best |

if you're over 25, you can claim working tax credit but as you work full time you probably wont get much. |

daisy i dont think you can claim anything....if you have no children and are fit and healthy enough to hold down a full time job then i think your on your own....what about downgrading to a smaller property? when i was on my own i started off in a bed sit, made way up to a flat share with another girl and then eventually got my own place, am sorry to hear about you and your partner splitting up and wish you the very best of luck for the future, take care.

You can claim Housing benefit to cover the rent depending on your income. You claim it from your local council |

Firstly you can receive a Single Person Discount for council tax which will reduce your bill by 25% Contact your local council about this, while you are calling ask for a Housing and Council tax benefit form ( you can ask for a manual calculation to be done which will give you a ball park figure of how much they can help, when you talk to them request a manual calc and have all you income details including child benefit with you)). You will need to fill it in ( they can help you if any of it is difficult to answer) and return it with all proof of income and capital ( bank statements) 2 x ID and proof of your national insurance number, also you will need an upto date proof of rent ( ie tenancy agreement or letter from your landlord). They will assess how much how much rent they are able to pay for you based on the size of property your family need and your income. Also as you are working, you will be entitled to working tax credit. Keep your chin up as I know it is a difficult time especailly having to deal with forms etc but honestly it will get easier. Good luck! |

you may be entitled to housing benefit depending on your salary, contact your local citizens advice bureau and ask them, they usually are very good at stuff like this, there is also a benefits website I think you can fill in q questionnaire on line to see if you can claim, not sure what its called maybe google social security benefits, housing benefit or words to that effect. good luck. |
