Well any advice would be great thank you. I earned £2,600 last year (I finished work in september as I am a full time student and could no longer afford childcare after rent, bills car ect came out) so we have struggled. My partner earned £21,000 last year but has now been offered a new job (his dream job) but there is a problem, it only pays £16,000 a year for the first year (but the pay goes up the second year to more than he is on at his current job). we get £80 child benefit a month and our tax credits is £35 a month ! we do not no how we are going to go on, so if we were to ring tax credits would be entitled to more help to help us get by this year ? we are struggling so much, please no bashing this is my first post and would love to hear everyone's advice, thank you :)
