Please could somebody help me with my dilemma?
I am in my late 20's with a child of ten. I am going to uni in September, however i can't decide whether to keep my full time job whilst i study or give it up? The pays ok and the job is bearable but from what i've seen online (using various calculators) i would be getting the same money just going to uni full time and claiming certain benefits.
At the minute, i don't receive working tax credit, just child tax. Child benefit, and my wage. If i gave my job up, would I be able to claim housing benefit whilst receiving student loans/grants and maintanance?
Thanks in advance for any help.
