I had a word with a lady at work who advised me as I only worked a small amount of hours each week I could be missing out on benefits. She said I should call the tax office to see if I qualify for HMRC Tax Credits as I only worked a few hours a week to get out of the house. We had finished paying our mortgage off a few years ago so we only needed money for food and bills and my Husband had a full-time job which paid for most of the out goings. He didn’t want me to have to go out to work as he spoiled me but for my sanity, I needed to do something. I only worked for sixteen hours a week but I had some great friends there and I loved the thought that I got out of the house and felt it was a break. I have applied and just now waiting to see if I can get more money.
