Can I still get my grant and lone parents allowance?

Both the op and her partner are in college and presumably both will be working and contributing taxes in the near future. Those complaining that the girl may be able to claim a payment for a period of time need to cop on.

I was half way through typing an essay of a post but then I thought, whats the point?

All I am basically saying is if your financial situation is in shyte then dont have a kid. Get to a stage first where parent(s) and child can have a comfortable life and not have to struggle week to week whether they are in the welfare system or not.

Taxes? They are irrelevant in what I am trying to say.

Getting to a stable finanical position is ideal but not always possible. For those that do not get to such a place, which is many, there has to be a support system for them. The OP is studing, thats admirable. Once her study is complete she will be in a better position to gain employment, until then I for one am glad that I live in a country which offers support. We dont live in the type of country that lets children starve to death because their parents are poor. I am very proud of that fact and I hope it continues. Anyone that thinks differently is welcome to their thoughts, I hope I never support their thoughts however. Children should always be protected regardless of their parents circumstances.

What a country.

It's comments like these that make me despair for this country not the op and their situation.
