Hello 
I recently had to apply for another job as because of the ongoing cancer, doctor visits and all that fun stuff I just can’t keep up my relatively intensive full time job. I’ve stepped down to part time there for now until I have that job. I can’t sustain my family on part time work, so was wondering if I could claim any benefits, and if they will be added to my taxable income? I’ve been using these wage calculations to figure out what money I have after paying things I need to, those calculators have tax and NI and I know what bills I pay which is easy enough to take off the sum the calculator gives me, and it’s not looking good if I drop down to part time. All our finances revolve around myself and my husband both working full time, and me dropping to part time is going to have a significant impact on that. How should I go about this? Anyone got any advice?
(Also sorry for the huge wall of text, too stressed to form a proper sentence at the moment!!)
