Hi I've just technically finished uni, I don't graduate officially til July, but I was wondering when my course is classed as finished and as such, transfer onto IS, HB?
I'm a single mum too with HA flat so I'm anxious to apply for things in good time, though I've overpaid all bills and rent to make it more secure!
I was told last summer (I can apply for IS in summer and end just before Sept) that it has to be certain date that the period of student finance, my 'income', ends?
Just wondering how long the process of benefits will take and when to start. It'll be a long run now as I've graduated, til I get a job, and the first time I've ever applied for HB. Any advice?
Oh and my Council Tax Exemption ends 1st week of July, how do I manage this then? Can you pay it a bit each week? I'll get the 25% reduction as its just me and my tot, so just wanting to be prepared!
Thank you :)
