Are we getting more money

Hi,

I thought I heard that we will be a bit better off from April due to the tax allowance being more.
I only earn £5.77 an hour and work for 30 hours per week so anything above is that is much needed.
Has anybody else heard that?

Thanks

    you should be about £1.65 per week better off beacuse the personal allowance has increased form 6035 to 6475 per annum

    PS I forgot to add your NI should reduce by 5p too.
