Hi i was after some help please i went self employed on the 29th of April of this year and do 16 hours per week one of my sons was due to start nursery on Monday next week. but my husband was made redundant yesterday so now i don't no if i would be entitled to any child care from tax credits? hes applied for jsa, council tax and housing benefit on line and he's now waiting for an appointment to go and see them. we're hopping that he'll find a job fast but if he doesn't i need to no what we are entitled to. can we still get our child tax credits and the childcare bit if i'm only working 16 hours or do i need to increase my hours to 24 a week until he finds a new job? If i work 24 hours is he still able to get jsa? also are we now entitled to free school meals? thanks in advance.
