Can i put my child in d nursery in d morning and with d childminder in d evening...and claim working tax credit?

Tax Credits information from the MOD

I would suggest that you contact your nearest Army Families Fereration/HIVE and talk to them about what benefits you can get. I think Shorncliffe is your nearest.

Tax Credits forms need to be signed... that could cause an issue with your husband being abroad. Luckily HMRC Manual: NTC0070430 says that a legitimate reason for not signing is due to being away on active service. So all should be ok.

The MOD do provide Childcare Vouchers. These could be used to pay for registered childcare (registered childminder, registered nanny, nursery, preschool). More information is on the MODchildcare website.

There are other forces' wives on Mumsnet whom you may find know a lot more about specifics of claiming for benefits whilst you are in the UK and also when overseas. Try posting on: Forces' Sweethearts

Must write 100 times Forces' wives...

3 spellings in the above post, none of them correct. Can I plead sleep deprivation?

Babedestiny, assuming you're the OP, ask the army for childminders on patch if you live on/near there. Lots of Forces wives seem to be nurses so childminders may well be used to NHS shift work without the support of a DH. If you do want to consider flexible working being a Firces wife is a good reason to put down as well.

Is your DH enlisted or a contractor? If he's enlisted you can get loads of help and support from organisations like SSAFA. Try the Force's Sweethearts section on here too even if he isn't. I'm not British Forces myself so can't give you a huge amount of help/advice - SSAFA is about as far as my knowledge goes - but the ladies on there know their stuff.

Even if you're not the OP I hope some of the info is useful.

jesus christ someone needs help and gets the piss ripped out of them

nice
get a grip ladies

am with coldtits on this one

really babedestiny?

I mean really? lol

Hello Babedestiny. Are you the OP?

What?

Is someone else registering an alternative name to mock the OP now?

Or is the OP name changing in order to write almost complete gibberish?

I don't understand.

I am honestly quite shocked at the responses to the OP in this thread. Why on earth should the OP have to justify why they are in this country without friends and family. Have we crossed into the Daily Mail letters page or something? Is it really such sport to take the piss out of someone who uses text/shorthand language? It's just pathetic.

Tks N Booooo tO the sarcastiC ppL oUt tHeRE........My Hub Is WoRKinG 4 ThE Bitish Army..n this is the shit i get fr ppl here....he is going to Afghan next week..to fight 4 ur country...n the hell with u ppl.....
n Ya i ve got an ILR...SO there is no problem with public funds thing...n i ve got my ans...n tks to the ppl who gave me gunuine..advice..............

Urgh, you nasty cows.

OP, have you tried the DWP website or the TC helpline? Failing that, your local Jobcentre Plus will have people you can speak to for advice on all aspects of chilcare provisions/government benefits.

Nicks point is actually very relevant if the ops visastates no recourse to public funds if tax credits are considered public funds, admittedly badly phrased.

Globally, in theory, yes as long as you work 16+ hpurs a week, as does your partner if applicable, then you can claim. There are exceptions, the op may fall into one of those categories in which case we wouldn't want to provide incorrect advice. Sometimes thus means asking relatively invasive questions to complete strangers but they don't have to be answered 'out loud' - they're intended to be taken into consideration.

I'm in the Proper English Please camp but there's really no need to be nasty about it. Although it may be a cultural norm in Singapore (and other cultures) it isn't the cultural norm on mumsnet. Interesting point, anthropologically speaking, but it does mean newcomers may need gently reminding of what is preferred. Gently reminding doesn't mean bullying.

LMAO @ thread.

AnoushkaS, I'm not sure what job you've gone for (i.e. the salary) but could you afford a night nanny to do your evening and overnight care?

Hear Hear Coldtits. Absolutely bang on.

Look at this for an example of nastiness:

The NHS have employed you? Really? When you can't tell the difference between the letter d and the word 'the'?

BuzzingNoise - you are a twat.

AnouskaS. Sorry I can't help you as I don't know about the rules.

Mumsnet is normally a great place but some people can be utter twats. Just ignore people who are taking the piss. You're all acting like school bullies.

do the bullies feel better after their smug posts?

there's just no need for any of it

But it's not really any of your business, is it?

And what coldtits said as well.

nick, I am really shocked at that post, bit mean no? She doesn't have to justify her decisions to anyone and just wants some advice.
I woudl agree with asking the NHS and maybe see if your future coworkers have childminders that might have overnight spaces.

Well one reason I ask is because I thought that qualified nurses from overseas need to be able to support themselves without claiming from public funds, as part of their visa requirements.
OP has not said if she has a visa, has only recently said she's from abroad, thus she maybe on a visa, may be on some kind of sponsored visa, etc. Thus why she is in the UK I feel is a reasonable question to ask, given that she is looking to access public funds. Or is WTC not considerd public funds?

This thread has amused me no end when I've been feeling totally crap having had next to no sleep tanks to poorly ds2 so thanks ladies.

Not sure the OP needs people stepping in & defending her as her next posts were still horribly written. Use real words not horrible text speak, not hard surely.

i live in leicester and have no family here moved to this village 8 months ago, so not many friends, what buisness is it of yours to ask her why she came here???

she asked for advice, if you dont have any, leave her alone.

I clicked on this thread as I had a feeling most of the replys would be like this.

It was like stepping back 20 years into the playground.....

Where will she find the childcare? Childminder numbers have been dropping for years. Childminders who work evenings, or overnights are not common.
Can't claim childcare element of WTC unless using a registered provider.

what coldtits says.
