I was just wondering if this is correct. At the minute my OH works 37 hours pw for £16k we have a daughter aged 9 months. I don't work and receive MRC and LRM DLA. I have seen a job working 16 hours pw at our local bakery. I was considering going for it and decided to use the tax credit calculator to see how much our tax credits would be affected. When i entered in the information it basically told me that we would receive about £124 pw in tax credits:eek: At the minute we receive 63 CTC and 19 WTC per week. Is this right or have i made some mistake?

I think because you're on MRC, you get a premium for that. (in the same way you would if you weren't working and claiming means-tested benefits)Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked
