i want to get a xmas job just for weekends to make some extra cash but don't know if to or not as it may knock our tax credits down

has anyone got any advice

Have a look at the "entitled to" site and see what it says. I know nothing about tax credits - would you be knocked down in the future and for how long, also is it relevant how many hours you work? I think you need to do a little research.

I'm in the same boat and I start my christmas temp argos job on sat. I've checked entitled to and it doesn't affect us that much at all. if anything it'll be next year that our payments will be lower but that was going to be the case for us anyway as K would be over 1. But by then you'll have a baby so your tax credits will increase anyway!
