[trixipaws]

iv just started work after maternity leave ( ) but im part-time now, my hours are less than what i stated when i applied for these benefits. do i need to inform them both? does anyone hav the fone numbers for them?
do u think working fewer hours will entitle me to more, or less?

i need to sort it asap really dont i- dont wanna be a fraudster!

For good tax credits you need to be working around 30hours so you will get the most out of them thats about the middle ground if my OH did 30hours he would be getting around £50 a week. Not too sure about the child ones though if they work in the same way....we worked it out to be around £50 a week too.

Heres a site that will show you what you can claim...
