    What was your income 12/13 - this is the income that your 13/14 payments of £27 per week would have been based on
  • My understanding of WTC was that both partners have be working a total combined number of hours each week (24) with one doing at least 16 in order to recieve it? HTH
  • my hubby is working 37.5 hours a week, i worked for a small period of time last year, we have 4 children under 9

    Income for 12/13 was 14865

    hope this helps
