My maternity allowance reached it's end. I'm almost 140£ down a week and I think tax credits messed up when I said I left my job and calculated me with less money than I initially got!

Thing is, I initially filled it out as asked it asked for my estimated annual income. So I think I must've done that because I went on MAT leave last May and then told my job I'm not coming back in December as they wanted to know earlier if I was going to return or not but obviously I received less than my income from may-december but it said on the form that MAT allowance didn't count and they didn't want to know. I may have done it wrong and they think I've earned more than I have and now obviously with being nearly 600 £ a month I need to find a replacement or I will find myself in debt very soon!

Gotta rant about this, but we got notice the landlord wanted moving back into his house just after christmas, then we moved last month and the rent is more so OH is struggling too and I am panicking! I can't put my l/o in nursery and my family of which I can rely on lives abroad my sister in law found out she's pregnant again and my mother in law lives round the corner and does have him occasionally but just isn't reliable. In a way my partner is flexible but his job will obviously have priority over mine and I feel so damn trapped, I'm choking! I hate this government, I wish I was born in an off-grid community!! Grr... Anyone any tips on perhaps doing homework which isn't sales orientated?!
