Hi,It will depend on your circumstances and with no information it's impossible to give any advice. I'd advise you to visit your local CAB or other advice agency for a full benefits check.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
