Some advice please

Hello,

Ive been looking around for the avalible tax credits/benifts im entitled too but only found tax credits/child benifits.

I currently work part time - So I do get tax credits.
Also, CHild benifit which is at £18.10

I got speaking to another mum who earn 18k Part time working per year, but also receives £250 a month for child benifits.

How is she doing this? Im strugling at the moment with money and that £250 a month more would help so much.

Am I missing out on something?

Many thanks for the replys in advance

Louise

    You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands..........for instance, if they are placed around your throat, she's probably slightly upset. ;)

    does she have 4 children ? I would say that is the monthly amount for that amount of children whereby you have one, definately look at the entitled website :)
