gazdofe

well ive just had my answer back of NO im not entitled to CCG

gazdofe

"apparently" there has to be less than 3k left over after bills etc etc, (utilities and loans dont count) and even tho my childcare is 16k a year this doesnt count, because if im not in uni apparently i dont need it!

Hi,

Could you do a calculation for me ?

Income including child benefit and child tax credits is £14649 Per Annum.

Two children, one going into childcare at £152 per week.

Mortgage is £419 PCM, Insurance is £26 PCM and Council Tax is £124 PCM.

We have been told that we are elligible for full PLA but only £360 per annum child care grant.

Doesn't seem right.

Taiko

Need the CB and CTC broken down individually for the calculation.

Sure, your entitlement to childcare grant is £0.

Hi Taiko

stumbled on this thread, and if you don't mind, would like to run through my sitution

- going through clearing looking for a social work place in west midlands
- 3 kids between 4 & 9
- Me & DH both self employed - combined projected income this year is £17k (ish)
- WTC is £250 a week (just awarded)

Any ideas what I could/should be entitled to, if anything? Wd give up my PT job to go to uni. NHS Bursary of £5.5k but as I already have a degree, will have to use that for fees as not eligible for a Student Loan.

Many thanks

Taiko

Need to double check. For some reason, something is bugging me about social work entitlement for a 2nd degree.
