working pt 20hrs - benefits help?

[shazney22]

Hi,

does anyone know if I was to take a job for 20 hours what benefits I would receive? I have a child of 15 months and Im just wondering how I would pay my council tax and housing association rent? As there is no way I can pay it off that as Id have nothing left. I really would like this job if offered as its 3 days a week and would suit very much with working round childcare as my wee one would only be in nursery 1 day a week, I have an interview my OH isnt working at the moment but we are both on JSA joint claim.

You'd most likely get, Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, Child Benefit, Housing Benefit & Council Tax Benefit.

As your oh is job seeking atm you would not be able to get help with childcare but you would get all other help as mentioned in above post, good luck
