Miss Chapman is not entitled to housing benefit until her 36th week on benefits because she own her own home. Working family tax credit is based on the previous financial years income, which is no good to her now.
Yes the child benefit will go up but not by enough to make th kind of difference she needs to pay her morgage.
Miss Chapman is planning to back to work as soon as October/Novewmber.
Yes there are people much worse off, but would you like to have to explain to a 10 year old boy why he has to live in a BB? Because of the 22,000 on the council housing waiting list, that is what Miss Chapman has been told will happen.
Not only will she and her sone and new baby loose their home but most of their things too.
She didnt want sympathy, just to raise the issue.
