Hello
I went back to work for 2 days a week (14 hours) after christmas
I lost my working tax credits and they cant help towards dd's 1 day at nursery as i work under 16 hours
I was turned down for income support last week, so i really really need to up my hours to 16 to get my working tax credit back! I've missed direct debits today and i had to borrow money for a tin of SMA milk yesterday, i literally cant survive without either income support or working tax credits!
I think the best solution is for me to work 8.30-5.30 ie. an extra hour a day making my weekly hours 16 exactly! This way they wont have to pay me any more like they would if i did another half a day etc, i literally just need to sit here for another 2 hours a week!
I cant speak to him till this afternoon and i'm scared that he's gonna say no!
Does anyone know how easy it is for him to change my hours, does he literally just have to say yes then i can phone tax credits and if they ever check up on me at work my boss can tell them i do 16 hours? Or will he have to start messing about writing to the accounts etc!!
