Hi
This is my first time posting. I am about to become a single parent . I have 2 children aged 6 and 10. I currently work as bank staff, so I am on basically a 0 hours contract. I have never claimed any benefits and don’t understand how Universal Credit would work for me, although I already know that I won’t be able to manage financially on my own unless I can get a little help.
Is anyone in a similar situation that can possibly give some advice? I’ve tried using benefits calculators but they tell me that unless I’m bringing in my working wage, I’m entitled to nothing!
.
