pwales_2

does anyone know if the above is going to happen, last budget said from 2012 April , wtc 16 hrs would change to 24hrs to qualify. (apart from single parents who would stay at 16) ?
haven't heard anything since ?

Still planned for April 2012 from a quick google.

My Daughter is expecting a child and will be a single Parent. I had read on the net about the change to the working hours rule and the plan of increasing the hours to 24 and so I contacted HMRC on my Daughters behalf to find out more about it as my Daughter only works 20 hours per week. I was told that single parents are excluded from the change and still only need to work 16 per week but that for everyone else the increase to 24 hours will begin in April 2012.
