I have finally done a SOA what do you think?

You have had loads of good advice on here, I can't understand though why you are receiving Child Tax credit of £83 for 3 children, I only get £40 approx a month for 2, do you have a child under one, otherwise I would say on your current income you are being overpaid, we don't earn what you do and we are not entitled to any additional help.

Just my thoughts.

We get 77.11 4 weekly from tax credits. that is on the income stated in my SOA - We have 3 kids age 9,7 &2

Sorry Lillys mum, I have obviously not read it properly, You have worked it out over a month rather than 4 weekly.

Thanks, we have looked into this and we are fortunate enough that he has a good trade and has already been offered several jobs (much better paid than he is at the moment) which he had to turn down because he wouldn't be out of the RAF in time to start them.
