Hi everyone,
After finishing college and gaining all the qualifications I needed to get a job I have decided to start work (or at least look for it!) after christmas...
My problem is that my tax credits claim as a single parent dating back to LAST January has STILL not been sorted out...my guesses are that it still wont be sorted by the time I start work meaning I will need to put in another claim before the old one is sorted out.
Does anyone have any idea how this will work? will I be left for months on end with no money? If/when they did/do c*ck it up will I be able to get emergency payments at least to keep us up to date with everything?
It's a bloody crime that people are being put OFF working in case it gets them into finantial difficulty!!
Thanks for any help!
(p.s I will only be working part time).
