Third child tax credit rule

[Coughfee]

Hello everyone,

I’ve worked full time for 10 years, even while being a single parent to my first two children. Last June I had my third baby which means I get no support whatsoever for him – this includes any childcare help.

Because of this I am being forced into unemployment as I have no one who will look after my son, and the cost of childcare almost outweighs the wages I get.

I was just wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences with this rule.

Thanks for that, I’ll look into it because when I rang the tax credits helpline they said point blank that I would receive no help towards childcare
