    My friend was made redundant back in February. She was originally full time but she's now working p/t and 20 hours a week. I checked out, if she'd be entitled to Working Tax credit and you need to be working 30 hours a week to qualify. Check out how many hours you'll now be working and you might just qualify.Believe it also differs if you have children, which she hasn't. Good luck.
