Hello, my youngest turned 3 last month and my eldest is 6 years old. My case manager phoned me this morning and said we have been put into the light touch group for now as my partners wages are enough to be put in this group. He gets paid weekly of £306 a week. The lady I spoke to said she looked at the recent assessment period which would was a 5 week pay assessment.
Some months are 4 week pqy assessments and some are 5 week pay assessments as my partner gets paid weekly. She said next month it might change as it will be a 4 week pay assessment. I asked her if there was a certain amount my partner has to earn before I have to look for work. She said she doesn't know and that if things change she will leave me a message in my journal to have a chat about me going back to work. I do want to go back to work next year September when my youngest starts school. Does anyone know if we will still be in the light touch group next month? Thanks.
