Why would you be starving with £216pw CTC, £60.50pw CB + min £145.92 wages - £422pw?

Presumably you have a partner and were working under 24hpw.... between you........the changes were announced 2 years ago, so you should have been planning for it.

Changes are taking approx 3 weeks to be checked as almost every one is being checked to make sure they are genuine due to the fact that there are thousands of families (but not all) who have been happily plodding along working the bare minimum 16 hpw between them, but have suddenly managed to increased their hrs to the new bare min of 24hpw between them......

Yes there are lots of genuine cases where people have have lots jobs, can't find work etc..., however there are also lots of cases where couples have been working just 16hpw between them for years - I find it hard to believe that over the space of several years they haven't been able to obtain more employment than 16hpw between them.

I just wonder how so many people have suddenly managed to increase their hours in such a short space of time, coinciding with the WTC rule changes?

i can assure you i dont get £216pw CTC, £60.50pw CB + min £145.92 wages - £422pw
