oooh Caz, funny you should mention that!

I have just come off income support as I have started my own business and am self employed working over 16 hours a week..... I will get working tax credits as a lone parent....which will come to around £30 more than I got before on IS...... obviously how long that continues and at what rate (it's on a sliding scale) depends on how much money the business makes (if any lol) .

This does seem to be very true Caz, but do they have to pay council tax or rent like the married ones?

Lol Rose my mum said that too!!

How about..the debate that single mums on working families tax credit seem better off than working , married parents?
now thats not me being biased, its an observation from work, the ladies who are single seem to be better off than the families where both parents work.


is this a possibility?

they would like to put up but are too scared to risk it?

I would like to see if we can have a sensible and non- agressive debate on here now :) so will put one up if an interesting topic is put forward and be ready to delete if it gets 'aeriated ' as my mum used to say lol !

any ideas?
