hi can anyone please help my daughter a single parent has gone back too work when reading her contract as a nursery nurse she may only be needed term time ie 38weeks per yr .what happens when she is not working ie working tax credits can she claim for loss off earnings when not working

sue149

she didnt work it out on 38 weeks she did it on a full yr she did nt relise and was not told that she was on a 38 week contract its all very confusing

sue149

so really she has told tax credits that she will be earning more

sue149

think she will ned too ring again as she has told them she will be earning more than what she will be diference of over £1000 so think she will be entitled too more am i right in think this ,it all very confusing

sue149

she hasnt worked for 3 yrs

sue149

she recieved child tax credits roughly £250 per month and income support £70 a week and her earnings this yr will be approx from sept too april will be£3,710

sue149

ty for your help think she neds to ring again and explain as over the year she will not be working 11 weeks but dont think she will beable too do anything as only 3 are this year very confusing

sue149

she has been told her wtc will be £504 four weekly is that about right

sue149

20 hrs over 38 weeks no disabilities

sue149

wtc £332 ctc£305 sorry all new too us this but then says on letter payment every 4 weeks £504

sue149
