Self Employed Can I go onto Benefits ??

[OceanBreeze]

I wonder if anyone could help me, I'm currently self employed, but I have been advised by my doctors to give up work due to anxiety and depression, I just don't know financially it's something I will be able to do. Would I be able to get any benefits other than child tax credits ?!? I'm a single Mum with 3 children.

You cn apply for the means-tested One-Parent Family Payment. Pfresumably youa e getting Child Benefit already?

Just wondered if you are in the UK as we do not have child tax credits here. This an Irish site, therefore you may get more accurate information on the equivelant UK site
