What Benefits Am I Entitled to??

[Happy50]

Hi there everyone,

Just wanted some advice please.  I am in the middle of a separation from my husband, all amicable.  We have a 9 year old boy who we both adore.  We are selling our house and splitting the funds to go our separate ways but my husband will always be able to see our son.

I have seen a help to buy property and wanted to know what benefits I would receive from the government not to help with the property but as general.

I work full time 37 hrs a week.

Any advice, help or suggestions would be really helpful.

Hi Lisa,

You maybe able to claim UC but I’m not sure how that stands because of your house. You’d also get child benefit regardless.

For more specific advice it would be worth giving the gingerbread team a call, you might have to wait a while before getting through but they would be able to help.
