Hi
Id really appreciate some advice here as im getting loads of family/friends views but need third party view. Im a single mum of a 1 yr old, I get 75e maintenance weekly from ex partner. I have a mortgage of 900e per month. Im on jobseekers which is 225.80 Im in the process of getting OPF and have applied for Welfare benefir and mortgage relief but this will take months.
Im really eager to get back to full time work, does anyone understand the cut off? I understand i can earn 500e a week for OPF but lets say I get a job with 550 per week, does that mean im entitled to nothing?
Basically not been greedy here but everyone is saying im better off working part time as with creche fees etc id be worse off financially than i am now (my partner only takes smally 1 every Sunday)
Im confused
