Answer 1

theres child tax credit

but also

housing benifit can pay you some % towards housing costs, depending on your wages it goes down in stages from 100%.

when you are calculating your outgoings against your incomings, you need to mention the bus/travel expences for work cos they give you the overall NET figure you are left with to lkive on. this is the figure that most of the departments work with.

you may also be entitled to some from the dhs working living allowances income support or whatever. i know you say you dont want to, but you pay your taxes and youre entitled...and they aint gonna knock on your door looking for you, you have to go to them

seek citizens advice too

Answer 2

You should ring the inland revenue as you should be entitled to child tax credits.
