    No it wont go up, they are probably getting the highest they can.
    Why is she only working 2 days? Can she not get more hours or a different job?

    no she pregnant and has a small child,
  • Why does a small child stop her working more hours? Does it cause childcare issues? What is her partner doing while he is job seeking? Can he not look after the child so your daughter can work more hours?
