It used to be that a "child" could work unto 24 hours a week without any effect on benefits.

Hasn't been that for at least 10 years.

Thanks Darksparkle. This was exactly my point because benefit/work rules are constantly changing and evolving, so sometimes people can make mistakes and it's sometimes better ask for clarification rather than just accept the advice.

But as said before, any advice is very much appreciated. :beer:

Just jumping on here, my Son is 16 and going to be earning £200 (ish) per week. He is in full time education. Will this affect working tax, cb, ctc?
Is there a limit he can earn/hours he can work?

Thanks in advance
