which part sorry?
Is 20 hours ok? Which number of hours will have me better finacially?
I can't do the form anymore tonight. I have a migraine sorry
I put 1-15 hours in part 2 and zero in part 1. Which part did you mean, 1 or 2?
I used the one on this site (which is the same Turn2us tool) as as it kept my info once I had to go back and start again.
Rather than tell me in sentences, (which I am confused about, regarding part 1 or 2), are you able to copy and paste my report of the whole Q+A and swap the wrong answers with the right answers please?
Sorry but that is the only way I will uinderstand what you mean, thanks a lot.
Don't worry if you can't. You have been very helfpul already.
thanks
Ok - I have already done that to an extent, leaving out the questions you got correct, and only listing those incorrect, correcting them for you.
I have only done it for scenario one as that is how your WTC will be worked out. HOWEVER, YOU NEED TO INPUT 16 HOURS OR MORE FOR ANY SCENARIO. As already mentioned, you will ALWAYS get ZERO WTC if you input anything under 16 hours, so do NOT put 15 hours in.
You are misunderstanding the income part...I am not referring to step 3 where you do put them in, I am referring to STEP 6 if you re read my post, there is an INCOME SECTION (not a benefit section) and it states *income from social security benefits* and asks you to input an amount - its here where you do not add up the amount for DLA, you only input the amount from your IB.
30 hours will give you more tax credits but you will have to prove you are doing this amount.
I really would advise making an appointment with either the CAB or a disability employment advisor at the Job Centre Plus as you will need specialist advice.“How people treat you becomes their karma; how you react becomes yours.”1
