Hi everyone,
I came to the UK to work (i'm a Cypriot) since August 2011 and in the summer of 2012 i managed to find a job which only lasted for 5 weeks (16 hours/week). I'm a lone parent as well and I was paying childcare for that period (£920) while I only earned £500.
It's now been 8 weeks since I started that job and HMRC is still sending me forms to complete in order for them to deal with my Working Tax Credit claim.
My question is: Will I get the working tax credit at some point? And if it takes more than 2 months to start getting it, how am i suppost to start another job and pay almost £2000 until I get any help? I mean, how am i suppost to pay the childcarer? I don't have any money and the previous time i worked for the 5 weeks i had to make a loan from some friends...
???
