The support a widow can get from the state

After her husband died in a grissly road accident, Jayne a mother of two who was unemployed wondered how she was going to survive. With two children and another one on the way she was really stressed out. She had two boys one seven and the other five. Her husband was the sole bread winner of the family. She had very little savings to take care of the children and other bills. She decided to visit the child support agency uk. Here she would get the support she needed. She could also work part time in a restaurant near home. The restaurant is owned by her aunt who is willing to give her a part time job to help her. When she went to the child support agency she was shown how to use the child support calculator. This will help her know the amount of benefits that her children are entitled too. She also had the option of applying for a low income benefit. This is given to those people who have jobs but they earn little. She was also lucky as the government has a system where they cater for the maternity expenses. She also decided to move to a smaller house since she would not afford to live in the house she and her husband were living. Having spent a lot on the funeral expenses she did not have much money left. The government also gave grants to widows to support themselves and her aunt advised her to apply for those grants as it would help her. She also was to inquire whether her husband had benefits at work and how she could benefit from it.
