Hi,
i have recently started a new job working 12 hours a week. I am a single mother with a 11 month old daughter. I have done the change in circumstances online universal credit however I have a seen that when claiming universal credit childcare you have to pay the fees first then claim it back and you get it the following months. I don’t know how they expect me to pay 300 upfront and get it the month after when I only get paid 456 a month. I received the first month as a flexible support fund but I cannot claim it so I am back in the same position as I was before. It seems so hard to go into work and better my self I don’t know how I’m going to do it. Does anybody have any advice?
