Can anyone advise me?

My partner has just had her hours halved, we were struggling to get by as it is!

Are we entitled to any financial help from anywhere? We informed TC people and CTC has stayed the same, WTC has been reduced from 11 pound per month to four pound per month.

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

    Do they have her new estimated income now that her hours have been cut?

    If its lower than the figures they have for 06-07 - they'll start using the estimates for 07-08.
  • Yes they have these figures.

    We havent received a new award yet though.

    Do you think that the 4.53 WTC we received is the balancing amount up to the date her hours changed, and we'll receive the new amount shortly?

    That could be it.

    Wait until your award comes out - that £4.53 could have come though based on the older figures. :)

    (my one day off this week and i still end up discussing bloody tax credits with people :D )
