thank you so much,ill look into that when i get back from college

Thats stupid you should be able to use his P45. You should be entitled to income support cause your both studying. Have you been to the Job centre?? You should be able to get a crisis loan, which the money you borrow will come out your benefits when they come through, but its taken weekly. Yes deffo make sure they backdate all your payments, they can be craftly about that sometimes.

Sorry, I would help but just as skint!Have you got family that can help??

i would just like to update that we STILL arent gettin any housin benifits and still payin for council tax they are so slow. i had a break down not long ago cus we werent gettin any money my mum had to pay £140 into my account the other day to pay my rent which is comin out 2moz, i havent payed the bills which is £70 and we behind on the council tax which is £70. for the past two weeks we havent had food so ive been takin kieran up my mums, even my cat is sooo hungry i feel bad . xmas is gonna be so crap this year all im thinkin about is gettin kieran somethin. anyways they best get there arses movin cus we cant pay the rent next month its just too much xxx

Hmmm, as you are on benefits, your housing and council tax will be back dated, personally I would'nt pay them, they can't make you pay if you have nothing to pay with. Be firm with these grease monkeys, no income and benefits will entitle you to housing benefit and council tax benefit...I would go and see your local housing officers asap and sort this out.

Keep us posted.

last yr we really struggled financially hun - and we didnt pay council tax at all for a yr!!!

dont beleve all this about they put u in jail and blah blah as its rubbish - thats only for those who do it yr after yr... with us we agreed to pay sumthin small like £20/month until wed payed it all (it took well over the yr but it was paid!)

they may be money grabbing inconsiderate things in their high and mighty offices but somewhere amongst them are a few feelings!!

like i said before hun - you need to either fill in the forms or if you desperately need the money actually go to your local council office - every town has one. they will sort u out on the spot and u will be back -dated within a few days rather than a few weeks of waiting for it if u filled in the form! kev works - whereas i dont and we get quite alot in wrking tax and child tax so u will beenbtitled to more than we get (i was also back dated just under a grand last month as i was paid out wrong!) but u need to do it before a certain date this month or else u wont get back dated as it will restartthe new yr and they will start u off then - u will lose alot of what your entitled to!

sorry if this sounds harsh im sorry ur finding things difficult and struggling.. but if that the case why get a 4 d scan done for nearly 200 pound i think i cud of spent the money elsewere. prob upset a few people but oh well thats my opinion

i think you make a very goof point there! and if someone else did pay for it, i would of asked them if you could have the money for something more important things!

This has completely confused me, what are you talking about?...

the scan had been booked 6 months ago when i found out i was pregnant plus my mum paid for it and she wouldnt of given me the money for something else cus she wanted me to get it done. she helped me pay rent this month and fed my kid but she cant pay for everything.ive rang the housin benefit and everything has been sorted but i dont get the money for october's but never mind im just happy now. thanx for most of ur support xxx
