I have recently had my hours cut in work and im £200 a month down we were already struggling coz my partners wage just covers the bare essentials!! my partners income is above the £15000 threshold and my income both before deductions is around £6000. We have one daughter at 2 and a half.Work have offered my the option of either working 15 or 16 hours and im not sure which will be financially better with regards to tax credits any ideas?
Thanks Donna9
