Hi, I’m finding it so hard to find the answers to this dilemma? Nobody seems to be in my exact position so that I can find out what to do.
I’m a single parent to a 20yr old, a 15yr old and an 11yr old and in social housing.
Up until May I was receiving housing benefit, tax credits, child benefit, council tax 25% discount. Now my 20 yr old daughter has started working and is ‘horrified’ that I am charging her for living here!! I’ve now, obviously and rightly so, lost housing benefit and £70 a week tax credits and council tax discount and child benefit for her.
Am I wrong to expect her to pay £100 week to contribute ? Everybody she asks either pays nothing or pays very little and I’m feeling like the worst person EVER!! The thing is my outgoings are the same, they haven’t changed, but my income has!
Please can someone help so I know I’m not alone in this?? We are falling out over it and it’s getting so difficult !!
