Pmpl WHy dont you just calm down or fcuk off you wierdo. :rotfl:

Seriously this isn't a legal courtroom, its a website where people go to post their own personal opinions on various topics!

Go get a life you freak

Wierdo AND a freak. That's a promotion for me!

IF you are posting an opinion, it's usually best to say something like "In my opinion..." or "I think..." or eve "IMO/IMHO...." because people do come here for information. Opinions are worthless.

Thankyou..

Sorry if ive given you any incorret info hun.
I've never claimed ctc or wtc, and so was just going by what you said your calculations were about the 16hour rule,
as i know for jsa we have a 16hours per week rule before cut off.


Theres some very weird and rude people on here though so im gna leave.
Hope it works out well for you though.

Pardon me i forgot that this website is run in military nazi style, where the only thing that should be allowed is strict fact,
and anyones personal view or opinion is worthless and should be exterminated as its just a blemish on the website.


Maybe i should just whip and spank myself now as punishment for daring to give my own opinion on something! :rotfl:

if your husband is full time, and you work less than 16 hours, then firstly kiss goodbye to any childcare help - you already said you had a pre-school child, dont forget teacher training days either when factoring your childcare costs.

Second, you need to calculate your claim based upon what your husbands earnings WILL be in 4 weeks time when he start work. Once you've done that, I guarantee that you will NOT be better off workign less than 15 hours rather than 18 hours.

She doesn't need any childcare - I already asked earlier!

You cannot guarantee whether she will be better or worse off - there isn't enough conclusive information to do the calculations.

I thought it strange at first that she wanted less than 18 hours paid. Think it through very carefully as the figures given do not make much sense either.

Tax credits will be based on the full years earnings/JSA - those few extra hours this year could take her out of wtc and she will then lose prescriptions/dental/school meals etc (none of us know what costs she has there).

I am in a similar situation - I'm glad you asked this, thanks!

To clarify. CTC is based on earnings, not hours.

She's already stated she has a pre-school child, the job is in a school so she will be required to work TD days - she may need to pay childcare at somepoint. Just because she thinks she can work around it now, doesn't mean that all her hours (18 per week) will be covered for the full year by whatever arrangements she has made. Which is why I suggested she factored in TD days also.

I can guarantee, because she has a mortgage, and a husband in full time work, means that she will not lose pound for pound what she gains in wages. TC do not work like that. If you disbelieve it, ask her for her exact income details and do one of your scenarios. Until you do, you can't say that I can't say I guarantee it.

I've guaranteed it, I've not proved it. If you want you can (try) to disprove it. It's up to you.

She's already gave the number of hours, hourly rate and children. Off you go.

EDIT: She WON'T qualify for School meals even if she didn't work at all.

Thanks for all your help guys. Just to update, I have asked in school to reduce the hours to 16 unless a full time position came up. The rest I will do as voluntary as I already do a lot of voluntary within school (I'm still doing further training). I was worried financially as although I assumed it to be £6 per hour it might (possible but not decided) be a little bit more as I am trained at level 2 but have to start at level 1. Oldernotwise...if a full time job is on offer then I will accept but this is a step up to get where I want and bearing in mind the special needs children only come in 3 days a week. I started training at nursing but it did not work out with childcare etc so this is the perfect opportunity to work around my children. By working 16 hours I can still claim some ctc and by sept, all my children will be in full time school.
Thanks again. xx

there is no rule that you have to work under 16 hours to claim ctc.why are you losing 2 hours a week wages intentionally due to ctc?I don't get it,I see no logic in it at all
