Its £20.13 a week for the first child. If one of you earns more than £40k then I believe you're not entitled. However if you both earn £38k each then you're still entitled to it.
Make sense? No...I didn't think so either. Stupid government.
Is that 38k before or after tax?? My OH earns over 40k before tax not sure how much after tax, but after all those taxes we pay I hope we are entitled to something!
Directgov website confuses me.
Yes I believe this is currently what they're doing with people who were entitled before and no longer entitled now , in order to phase it out slowly , but I thought they stopped new claims straight away , I may have it wrong , I'm also no where near that amount of earnings either . xxThey have changed it now I think so if you earn under 40k pre tax you get the whole lot thenit decreases by 10% for every 2k over that you earn so if you earn 60k for example you dont get at all. I think that is right - dont quote me on it!!

This country is backwards..
Why would anybody who earns over £38k a year need £20.13 a week?! Seriously!
