So I'm very skint. Working 9-3 Monday to Friday, in receipt of tax credits that goes towards childcare. I can't work longer as I'd need to pay more in childcare than I earn, I can't get another part time job as if I earn more than an extra £2,500 per year then my tax credits are stopped. I can't even take a promotion at work for the same reason.
There is nothing I can do to help my situation apart from to find a magical job that pays £500 more per month than my current job. Even then I'd only be £100 better off than I am now, and I expect the job wouldn't be in walking distance like my current £9 p.h job.
I feel so fed up with the whole system!

Why would your tax credits be stopped?

The childcare won't be an issue forever. How old are your children?
