Did anyone even know about this change or was it just me? I saw today that from 6th April couples will have to work 24hrs (either one doing 24hrs or one doing 16 and one doing 8) in order to get WTC whereas now its only 16hrs that you have to work!
Luckily it doesnt affect me but it will do a Friend who only does 16hrs and will struggle to get 8 extra hours so will lose her WTC!
To be honest I am not sure the change is a good thing-lots will now lose money as theres not enough jobs as it is-so wont be easy for people who are on 16hrs now to get up to 24hrs..
