    Hi,

    Do you rent your home? If so then is it social housing or private landlord?

    For your UC claim are you sending in sick notes for yourself? Is your daughter sending in sick notes for herself?
    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.

    Hi @AnnBarny, and a warm welcome to the community!

    Thanks for sharing this with us, and I'm so sorry for your loss. You may like to have a look at this page on extra help if your benefits have been stopped. It may also be worth checking this grants search to see if there are any local awards you're eligible for.
