that really confused me lol i got a total at the end but im not sure if thats for a month or a year :O

thanks tho flame

Thats the only problem i found but having just done it again it has gone down drastically so now i dont know whether it is a day or a week, If its a year its certainly not worth it.

I think last time we worked out that it was monthly though.

 

[angiemum2b]

it all depends on the total income of earnings if your allowed working tax credits.

You should get around £70 ish pounds child tax i think and you can chose whether thats paid in weekly instalments of £17.50 ish or one monthly payment.

We wasn't entitled to working tax credit because our earnings was over 25k a year

if its monthly it would be great (an extra £300) but if thats a year its a bit pointless :S

if we didnt get any help we would be living on £700 a month
