£6 Working from home
I worked from home from 16 March 2020 until around May 21. The online claim form doesn't allow me to claim for part of the 21-22 tax year, or ask me when I was no longer obliged to work from home. Is there anything I should do, as the form allows me to claim for part of the year when I was hybrid working.

Pay Cut
My employer is suggesting I take a pay cut from 50k to 40k from 1st Jan, Our finincial year is from 1st June to 31st May, so this is half way through the financial year, as my monthly pay has been based on 50k, I presume my monthly pay would go down a lot as would not be based on 40k, but the difference, is this correct?

How long to dispute deduction of wages?
Hopefully when the dust settles, this will have ended up being nothing more than a what if question, but it's best to know in advance. Nothing signed in terms of a contract to say that approval is given to make deduction from wages. So say the employer makes a hefty deduction. I'm going to hazard a guess in the £200 region…

Am I being underpaid at my new job
Started a new job in October and my current wage is under £19,000 per annum. I am 23 years old, nearly 24, and living in Scotland and I thought the National Living Wage went up - not sure if it is illegal to be paid less than that. Just don't want to start chasing them and asking questions if that is not the case.
