“Marital breakdown leading to reduced household income. Stopping of carer money for daughter reduced income due to rejected claim. Both daughters in full time education. Tax credits/ carer / child benefits stopped when daughter reached 20 even though she is still in full time education. Job seekers money and child maintenance funding debts and bills, but no money left for food. I am due to start a new job on Monday but it will be 3 weeks until I receive a wage.”
