At the moment I'm self employed and it is not enough hours to get WTC but I am looking for extra work. My monthly income figure includes the housing benefit but is £25 short of my rent.
I just noticed that I didn't include the £20 per week disregard in my income. Sorry and thank you for making me look at it again. I wondered how I managed to pay for clothing, car repairs, birthday gifts etc. it must be with the extra £80.
