Hiya
I have searched the forums and internet but can't find any clarity for my situation. I am a 19 year old full time uni student (also have a 8 month old son and I am a single mother) I get income from student finance and child tax credits. I do not get housing benefit as I live in a property that my parent's own and do not charge me any rent.
Recently I applied for and got a job working weekends (10 hours a week) so I am working under the threshold hours to get working tax credits, I will earn approx £360 a month so this will not affect child tax (and student finance is not counted for tax credit purposes) I am due to start a months training on Monday, and will be working 30 hours a week for 4 weeks. Can I receive working tax for this month as I will be working over the threshold?
The next month I will be working under the threshold though so how will I apply and then amend this when I am working less hours?
