Budget cuts?

Can anyone tell me if a single mom of 1 child who is 15 working 18 hours a week at £7.26 an hour will face cuts to WTC or anything else? Seems very confusing.

    About £1259 based on the telegraphs calculator.


    That's a lot, abt £100 a month down?

    Why not work more than 18 hours per week? Your child is 15 and ok to look after his/her self


    I am fully aware my child is able to look after himself thank you........ Where I work there is no permanently extending your contracted hours, only sometimes extra hours... I have just applied for another job and have been offered 16 hours when I applied for 30 ( which are on the same days I work now) so don't go there please................
