Help On CTC and WTC

Hi

Can anyone advise roughly what entitlement we would have for the above.

I currently earn £15.5 k and OH earns £27K.

I have the possibility of a job closer to home, but will have to drop to £9k. OH earnings will stay the same. we would also have to pay childcare costs of £54 per week

Have recently put in a claim form before this potential drop in wages and have been told that we are currently entitled to £10.50 - not sure if this is for the year or week.

Can someone help and advise what we would be entitled to with the lower wages ??

How old is your child? Are they disabled and receive DLA?

1 aged 10 - have applied for DLA as he has significant learning disabilities/ Developemental delay (2.5 years behind peer group)- waiting to hear.

unless you get DLA, then your claim will remain the same as now, at £10.50 week

however, i think with the changes in april, this will drop even lower, due to your income
