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.0 -

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.0 -
