My oh earns abt 32k and b4 tax etc should get abt 2600.. He takes home 1900.. 1/3 has gon in tax and NI.. Okay so its not most but its £700 we could use ..people on lower incomes might say oh ur earnin mor than us so wat u talkin about.. Its the principle really if ur earnin more chances are ur job is more demanding and you hold more responsibilty and accountibility.. People should stop sayin stuff like u earn x amount and u dont deserve any wtc or ctc.. Our los are jus as important as urs and if the state helps us then so be it.. Stop bickerin over something the government controls and nt individuals!

Umm people decide whether or not to claim benefits they don't just foist it off on people willy nilly

I'm not getting why the money is needed on an income of 29k but then I don't know the whole of the OP's situation. So making it seem like you can't manage on 29k when there are people here that make ends meet on a lot less is going to invite comment

I didnt say she should.. I said people need to stop sayin things like wat do u need wtc for uve got enuf.. Stop bein judgemental finkin shes bein greedy n show some support

 

[special_kala]

Who said the OP was being greedy?

Surely it makes sense that you wont get WTC if your earnings go from £7000 to £29000??

Yes people claim for benefits but ultimately the gov decides if ur going to get it or not.. U dnt jus apply and u get it...

And yes we dont know ops situation.. So we shouldnt judge.. Regardless of whether ur earning 29k or 10k if your just about making ends meet .. Ur both in the same situation.. No need to think that just because your earning more your better off.. Sometimes its not the case.

What by saying ahhhh thats so unfair you should get that money????

No-one earning that money gets WTC, so there is no support to give. By earning £27k a year she gets MORE money than she did when earning £7k topped up with tax credits. she should still be entitled to £10 a week anyway.

I said people are saying comments like they THINK she is greedy..

Yes it makes perfect sense she shouldnt get it.. But whether she NEEDS it is a different question all together

Why wouldn't someone bringing in £2k a month (including CB and CT) not be making ends meat though? Unless they have loans and credit cards I would assume. In which case the government shouldn't be bailing these people out should they?

 

[special_kala]

Im pretty sure that WTC wouldnt have upped a £7000 income to anywhere near £29000 so how could they need it when they must have been living on less before?

 

[Linzi]

I wouldn't class one persons income of £29k as low income

Im possibly giving up work after this baby is born & living on my husbands £22k....

There is support to give.. By simply tellin her shes not the only one.. Not sayin things like oh ur earning loads more u dont need it.. Okay so if you think people are right to say that.. Which they are atleast say it with tact instead of soundin like ur jumpin down her throat abt it.. Fair?

 

[bump_wanted]

Ahhh im on the rampage today so prolly best i dont say anything

We got quite a shock this year when our letter came in - DH is earning £20K but by the time his tax, national insurance and company car payments come off, he only brings home just over £900 a month. We get no WTC and our child tax credits and child benefit has been drastically cut as well, from something like £150 every 4 weeks to £45 ever 4 weeks, and I had just recently handed my notice in to be a SAHM after having Sophie so early. We're finding it quite a struggle just now but we're having to just cut back in every way possible - buying only the essentials and we've started doing our shopping spread over several shops (Aldi, Farmfoods, Asda, Tesco etc) to get the cheapest we possibly can, rather than doing the whole lot in Tesco. Bit more hassle but it certainly makes life easier financially! xx

I'm bowing out someone else other than the OP stamping their feet on a previously civilised thread is going to go downhill fast.

I agree with you there.. They shouldnt bail them out for that..
