    yes, i am considering upping my hours to over 16 if the amount of working tax credit makes it worth doing.

    it depends on how much you earn (and OH) and what other benefits etc you get.
    Last year because only OH worked we got quite a lot, this year, even tho we'll be bringing in less than last year, because I'm working we get nowhere near as much, and its all child tax credit.

    You wont know unless you claim for it. Or try their 'do I qualify' thing on HMR site

    my oh salary is ??13000 a year working 37 hrs a week and ill be going back to work in 2 weeks doing 30 hrs a week on min wage and we will no longer be entitled to any working tax credits, its out of order, as if we are being penalised becuase we both work.

    Well i gtot told a while ago i should be claiming - i hadn't realised as thought it was when i went back to work. Rang them up and they took some details over phone and said that i would be entitled and approx how much he said ??20 ish a week but then you get sent a form - which i filled in and sent back its based on what you earned the last financial year... i now get ??90 evey 4 weeks... the prob is friends of mine have previously been given it then year later told they have been over paid and had to pay back... this worries me!
    get on the phone and see... oh and yes i think when you set up childcare you do a change of circumstances and you can have a contribution xx

    It is worth claiming for as its mone in your pocekt. Just be careful, I have three kids and every year since I've been claiming I've been overpaid and have always had to pay back money!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am still having problems with them and its like trying to get blood out of a stone. Deal with it now and get what you are entitled too.
