Hey Everyone!
I currently work as Care Assistant, My monthly wage after tax is £648.00
Out of this I need to pay
Rent - £63.50 Per Week
Water Rates - £29 Per Month
Council Tax - £58.00 Per Month
As well as my other bills, Gas, Electric, Food etc.
Is there anything I can claim to ease up on the bill demand a little?
Thanks!

How many hours do you do? Single, couple? Possible claim for working tax credits if enough hours. Housing benefit? Council tax benefit? Get a water meter?:footie:
Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S)
Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money.

Single, 36 Hours Per Week, Don't get any benefits at all at the moment.
Water meter?0 -
Try for Working tax credits. Think you may qualify for those.
Also see if you can get any housing benefits?0 -
Unless I've miscalculated (it is early!) you seem to be earning less than NMW.0

£648 is your bring home pay.(I know thats not a lot).What is your income before tax?
And you should qualify for WTC as you are 25.
Good luck, hope you get some help.0 -

Working Tax Credits..Looks like whoever you work for are not even giving you minimum wage.....You wont pay any tax or insurance on your income,(which looks like you dont anyway)...
Go on the turn2us website,put your details in and it will tell you everything you are entitled to.0
