I came across the problem of low pay , companies expect you to top up your wages by claiming benefits or tax credits etc . This seemed to be the norm if you had a partner , a gaggle of kids and a council property .
I was one one of those that got caught out in the family tax credit farce when I was married . I didn’t apply for ages and when I did I queried the amount of the award , provided proof of earnings for both of us when the renewal time came around and the money went up . Come the third year they wanted it all back ! Thousands of us got hit like this and many more had their awards hugely reduced …
