Income support

[katrinax]

Well I am due back to work in march after 9 months mat leave.

I'm only going back 8 hours a week until my daughter is 1. I was working 40 hours before.
I have been on direct gov and been trying to find out what benefits I will be entitled to. I am currently get child benefit, child and working tax. But I have found out I will loose out on my working tax if not working 16 hrs or more. So does anyone know if I will still get child tax and will I be eligible for income support and anyone know how much as I am a lone parent but working part time?

If someone can help and make sense with it all as its all confusing.

Thanks

Hey

If you are working under 16 hours, you will still recieve your income support and child tax credits, i dont work but am looking for part time work and i spoke to the jobcentre and they said my benefits wont be affected if its under 16 hours
