Benefits and money
There are few things in this life more confusing and worrying than money issues. The first few pages in this section are for you if you receive benefits or tax credits. We want to help you get what you are entitled to and avoid all the stress and upset that problems with benefits cause. This infromation will help if you are not living with your partner but a benefits office believes you are, if you moving in with your partner, or if your relationship has ended.
