lone parent tax credit help?

The proposal is NOT relevant to single parents. This only applies to couples and actually makes perfect sense. You will still recieve the help as a single parent once you work 16 hours or more. Only COUPLES with children will be affected by this new ruling.

Basically, currently a single parent has to work 16hrs to recieve childcare and WTC help bearing in mind she NEEDS to pay childcare just to go to work! A couple do not need to do that, a couple can get WTC once only one of them works 16 hours, the other person can sit at home looking after the kids quite happily.

Hence my belief it is making the system fairer :)

At the moment it is a proposal, but nothing is written in stone,as far as I've read

it's a disgrace, on one hand the government want you to work,

then they say they'll penalise you if you don't work enough hours

Honestly, this government are the pits and are just making the working class poorer and poorer

consider Stormy Days yet can word for maternity surestart furnish earlier you have your toddler in the adventure that your already on income help. in the adventure that your fairly intense approximately looking paintings after having your toddler thats good cos you would be talked approximately as into see a Lone discern Adviser at interior sight Jobcentre to debate returning to paintings. they could adviser & direct you into preparation, tutor you techniques plenty extra suitable off you would be working rather of saying reward & help with your jobsearch to call purely some. in the adventure that your fairly intense approximately looking paintings do not look ahead to them to touch you after having your toddler why not circulate & see them 1st you by no skill understand could merely locate your perfect activity!

Unfortunately this will eventually be the case!

No - that doesn't even make sense! your eligibility depends on your income - not how many hours you work!
