I was ok when my children's father was paying maintenance. I didn't have a car so some pepole may have viewed us as poor but i could pay the bills I had and didn't need (or qualify for benefits).



Now I don't know, I think I will need to let a few months pass before I can ''prove'' he's not paying any more and then I'll have to show I've legally pursued him. THEN if I go back to the social welfare I MAY be eligible for some help as a family but not as a single parent because I work full time.



So basically, I HAVE been surviving without benefits and may well have to continue.
