Single parent working part time

[Beswad]

If a single parent with a 4 year old wishes to works part time does it affect his/her claim on their benefits? Where can I find out more information regarding this matter?

You can earn up to a certain amount without it affecting your benefits (it is quite a small amount). Try contacting the benefits office for more information. They were very helpful when my sister went through the process. You could also contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau who will be able to tell you exactly what you are entitled to claim while you work if you provide them with all the information.

Don't be so small minded Chimpanzee. Beswad clearly DOES want to work. Perhaps if you lived in the real world you would see it's not as easy as just going out and finding a nice little job that will pay for a roof and food for your family.
