what benefits could i get?

lee8040

i might have to switch from working nights to days due to issues with family life etc but the drop in pay is about 5k. is there anyway of finding out what benefits i could get and what i'm currently getting (child benefit & working tax credits) would be increased by?
i can only really survive on losing a grand or two

Child benefit will not change, child tax credits may but as we are already over half way through the tax year, your total annual income will be dropping by £2,500 so may not be a huge change.
Try the turntous calculator but remember your annual income will be x months nights + x months days and use that total
