Tax Credits stopped as sons doing an apprentship?

sheramber

if your son is under 18 he does not pay council tax.

Also some apprentices do not pay council tax.

Have you checked of this applies to him. https://www.gov.uk/council-tax/who-has-to-pay

If he is working at least 16 hours a week, as he is receipt of DLA, he may be entitled to WTC.

your son whilst in receipt of DLA is entitled to claim WTC - because he has a disability
my son gets the same amount of DLA as your son and receives £153 per month WTC on his salary of £14K - so your son should receive a fair bit more - when my son was on an apprenticeship HE received £507 per month

the fact is here that your SON needs to claim WTC and contribute to the household expenses as my own son did

OP son could get approx £95 per week.

£150 per month on gas/electric is INSANE. I had no gas in a house of two and my electricity was never over £60. Are you paying arrears? £150 is crazy!

Why do you have two water bills?

That's not normal for a house of two people! There's your food money right there!

That does sound very high, because I live in Kent, and my dual gas/ekectric with Eon is £65 per month, and we are a couple in a semi.
