PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Social Security Benefits: Lone Parents (14 December 2017)
Question Asked
Asked by:
Dr Rupa Huq (Labour)
Answer
The Government’s website, gov.uk, provides guidance on individual’s rights and entitlements to benefits in the UK, including single parents. In particular, the website provides links to independent benefits calculators that can be used to find out what benefits an individual could get, how to claim and how these benefits will be affected if an individual starts work.
For single parents claiming Jobseekers Allowance there is also a Lone Parents factsheet available on gov.uk which, amongst other things, explains the flexibilities that may be available to them.
