Hi, As a single parent having been on IS without a break for 6 months, I got:
£250 Job grant
4 weeks HB & CT run on
£250 clothing voucher thingy

Not sure about what you get if not a single parent, maybe a better response on the employment board?

I think it is called the back to work credit and is separate from working tax credits.

The thread started 4 years ago, got revived again 2 years later, and you've woken it up again. It's be better to just start a new thread

The HB&CT and the £40 per week depends on your salary. You only get it if its £15k or under.

I didnt qualify for it, but I did qualify for the £250 (single parent) back to work grant, that didnt depend on salary (Im on 30k+)

For the back to work grant, they send you a very simple 'tick box' form, and tend to pay it within about 2 weeks.

If you are on income support for less than 6 months do any of these benefits back to work grant ect apply? Im hoping to be out working soon, my first claim went through mid jan 2011?.
