I’m reaching out in the hope to get some guidance. I am a single mum with two children 12 years and 13 years of age. I was made redundant from my job in October. Small amount of redundancy now nearly all gone.
I set up as self employed and working hard to grow the business, however, very little income at the moment.
I get a small amount of child tax credits only as they work it out based on previous years earnings. So am I correct in that I will struggle for 12 months on next to nothing. I also have a mortgage and no way of paying it. Am I entitled to help and if so where do I turn? I am so lost.
I have always worked full time and had the security of an income. Now I have nothing I am starting to PANIC.
I hope some of you lovely people out there have gone some advice of who I should contact. THANK YOU
