Single Scots mum Faye Dearnaley has been left unable to sleep because of the worry that rising prices will leave her and her daughter unable to afford to eat.
The music student, from Leven in Fife, has £1080 coming in from Universal Credit, Child Benefit and the Scottish Child Payment.
After budgeting to pay rent, utility bills, council tax, shopping, internet and the cost of running a car, she and her two-year-old daughter Ayla have just £17 left at the end of the month.
