Hello darcy-bubbles
Once you come off Income Support/Income Related JSA then it is unlikely your daughter will get free school dinners, though the rules seem to vary in different counties BUT if you are now on 16 hours a week you will be able to claim Working Tax Credit (click the link), whch will give you some additional income so even though you are probably not entitled to free school meals. this benefit will help you pay for them.
