Can anyone provide a helpful post please, the expected income on the original form was £7'000 (april-april), and i thought this would be very possible, however the last few weeks work have been cutting hours drastically and i'm only at around £4'500...

Part-time? Not according to the government. As said repeatedly, they have changed my hours recently, worked plenty this year...

Even on minimum wage it works out as an average of around 20 hours a week if you have got to £4,500 from April to now

Is there something you could do self employed for say 10 hours a week and would take you over the threshold every week?

I wouldn't know where to start. My job experience is very little before this job, i was in a factory for 2 years, before that College/Uni...

Why bother living as a couple and working when you can live as single mum and breed 5-6 kids ?

Being self employed and running your own business takes a lot of effort,time and quite often money.Not a good idea to encourage running their own business for a few hours a week just to tick some boxes on the tax credits re-newal forms.

IMO much better to encourage further education to get better qualifications to enable them to get a better paid job when the economy picks up.

I'm well aware of that because I started a small business when the threshold went up to 24 hours a week. I'm afraid I couldnt afford not to as I couldnt lose £75 a week in wtc. Now the business is becoming very lucrative.

Its all well and good retraining but what if you need money now?
