I claim working tax credits, child tax credits and child benefit for a 16 yr old who is just entering 5 th year and in full time education - can they work part time fir 14 hours a week ?
- will this affect any of the above benefits? - do I need to tell HMRC?
- and is there a cap in the amount of hours they work each week ?
