hi bronte,it says the one parent family will stop,ill be moved to another type of payment,the money for my son is cut from payment,its not just at me but across the board with one parent familys..im just wondering what payment do they put you on,and what amount do you loose etc

jimmyjimmy - what age is your youngest? I thought these changes happened when your youngest became 7 years of age

stephnyc hi,my lad is 11,so changes for him come into place in july.yeah i have looked it over and what it means is one parent family well thats gone,there for every one should be looking for work,ill take that hands down,they say courses in place and so on,its just id imagine people with a few kids would have trouble in the area of getting them minded out side of school hours,then ya have the summer..cheers for the link,most helpful
