hi all,
im a 27 year old polish born, ive lived in the uk since i was 8.
i have been schooled and worked here i married a british national and had 3 children (who are all british born)and this is where it gets complicated...when i was married i claimed child tax and working tax credits withouth any problems and also ended up having to claim housing benefit at one point without any problems but when i broke up with my husband and moved out i was told im a person from abroad and im not entitled to anything and this was 18 months ago!! im now living with my 3yr old daughter on around £30 per week and no one seems to be able to help me!!! im getting desperate
can any one help,im in desperate need for some information how it will help me untill i can return to work!!!

As you are a EU citizen (Polish) you maybe entitled to claim benefit.

Also there is a forum here which deals with this topic, I would suggest you browse Benefits as you have a better chance of finding your answers there than on this forum
