@Claire yes this is correct if they pay your rent however if you do not need rent paid you get a bigger work allowance
so you could only earn £101 a week however to qualify for the 15 hours working 15 hours you need to earn £137 a week 18-20 before tax and £183 a week 21+
@Roxy ahh good to know 😊 x
@Claire I earn £171 a week I get deductions but I still am much better off working as it’s still extra due to the work allowance so only the rest after the £404 gets deducted x
I thought you were entitled to free hours even if you don't work?
@Jess yes once 2
@Roxy did not know this!
Thank you everyone 🧡
On my statement it says the first £404 doesn’t affect the monthly allowance not sure if that’s the same for everyone?
