Hi
I am really new to claiming benefits and need some advice please. I have just found out that my full time job is coming to an end in about a week. I have luckily been offered a part time job, but at a much lower rate than what I am currently earning. My situation is as follows:
Single mum with two children (12 and 9). I rent my property for 800 a month (two bedroom house). I live in London which is why the rent is so high.
I currently receive the childcare element of tax credits of 104 per week, but as soon as I finish my current job this will end.
The new position will be part time at approximately 20 hour per week doing admin. My income will be about 500 per month.
What I need help with is to see what I would be entitled to and how would I go about claiming. Would I need to start a new tax credit claim or do I just update my current one?
Thanks for all responses in advance.
