Hey guys, I am hoping some of you will have a little experience on this and will be able to help
I currently work full-time (41 hours) . I am attempting to do a part-time degree and I am also a single mother to my 2 year old. I don't currently have to pay any childcare costs.
I currently feel like i am spinning plates and doing a poor job at everything (work, study & motherhood) so I am tempted to ask for a reduction in my working hours (was thinking of working 24 hours). The problem is that money is already tight!! Will I be much worse off? I have heard that with housing benefit and the increase in my tax credits that I might end up with a similar amount of income?
Does anybody have any experience with this?
Thanks
Anna
