    718 / 52 = £13.80.

    But if you ad income support on for the non worker?

    Based on the information you have entered, your household may be entitled to the following tax credits award:-
    Child Tax Credit £1228.43
    Childcare element of Working Tax Credit £0.00
    Sub total £1228.43
    Working Tax Credit (less the childcare element of Working Tax Credit) £1998.01
    Note: The childcare element of Working Tax Credit will always be paid direct to the person who is mainly responsible for caring for the child or children, alongside payments of Child Tax Credit.
    Total £3226.44

    £62 per week.:rotfl::eek:

    The non worker wouldn't get income support.

    The non workers income support is the partners wage.

    She's not a jobseeker. Shes a housewife bringing up a child.

    It's an option on the site because it's a generic form to cater for everyone. Including people who don't have a partner.

    OK seen as people on benefits only claim the least they are entitled to.:rolleyes:


    So what was the outcome of all this other than a checkout job in Yovil being the average wage

    and 3 bed semi as the minimum place for a single person :)

    What so the official stats are irrelevent now but a cashiers job in Yovil is now the average full time post.:rolleyes: so this is the don't use averages against averages, it is use 1 example and pretend it is an average thread.:confused:

    I am merely illustrating the wage for an average administrative job.

    The number of applications also shows the demand for work even at what appears a low rate.
