A bear on a mission!
I'm currently on maternity pay which ends on the 22nd April. I phoned up the Job centre to see if I could claim JSA & as I was working part-time before having my daughter I'm not entitled to it.
Also our child tax credit has been cut by £52 per month; they've taken the baby element away.
I have been searching/applying for jobs for the last month as I knew my maternity was ending but as you all know it's really really hard out there especially for part-time work.
I know that in my circumstances I'm probably a lot better than others as my H does have a job although not that highly paid. This really is going to hit us very very hard & I've always worked all my life.
I can't believe they can cut things just like that & I really feel for those out there that rely on tax credits to feed their children..
Sorry just wanted to get it of my chest, I really don't know how we'll get by, to be honest if I can't find a job in a few months we'll lose our house :cry:
