    Good luck for the interview!

    What did entitledto.co.uk say? I'd have thought you'd still get a small amount on those hours?

  • Yep-I will get a fair amount of Housing benefit still (rent is £750 a month and I will have to contribute £120),I will have to pay council tax(will get £7.62 roughly a week council tax benefit),will lose income support obviously but will get working families tax credit at around the same rate.Says I may still qualify for free milk and free school meals so that will help.I should definitely end up better off,by at least £150 a month
