Family fund have upped income limit to £28,000

[glittery]

as of today the income after tax and national insurance (excluding DLA and CB) has been increased to £28,000 in England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland

here

the old income limits were £25,000 in England and £27,000 in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
think i remember from a thread a few months ago that some people were only over by a few hundred so hopefully this increase will make a difference

That is great, much better than before.

Thanks for posting this, just checked and we now fit under their limit whereas we didnt before!

cool!

unfortunately, yes, although they are also removing the savings limit.
this is from the website...

The Fund will now look at the total money coming into the household. This is money from working, tax credits and benefits and other income coming in like rental income, maintenance payments or occupational pensions. We will look at the net pay from work (Money from earnings either through an employer, or self-employed including overtime, shift allowances, etc but after tax and National insurance has been taken off ? the take home pay). We also count income from benefits, statutory payments and other money coming into the household like money from rental income, maintenance payments or interest from savings.

We do not count Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Attendance allowance (AA) or Child benefit. We are also removing the savings limit.
