I've always been under the impression that in order to qualify for any UC, WTC or CTC you have to work at LEAST 16 hours per week.
Is this still correct? Sorry, I'm not really up to date with all the rules.
For context I'm a single mum to a little girl (5 years old) and currently working 22 hours per week in a role I'm trying to leave (the commute is too long).
I've just seen a local job that fits my skills but it's only 15 hours per week.
If I were to work just 15 hours per week would I no longer be eligible for any tax credits or UC?
I've never claimed UC, I'm on CTC and WTC.
