Any closer to figuring out why you're not entitled hun?

I think they should make the eligibility rules a little bit clearer to be honest because it makes it really difficult to work it out for yourself and it can be really time consuming to have to ring up and go through everything (esp. when you're then told that you're not eligible!).

I really think that benefits are very age-ist too

Like, I know that OH and I will get some WTC when either A) I have a baby or B) He turns 25 and our age is the only thing stopping us at the minute. We pay just as much in taxes as anybody else and when we tried to apply before we were in genuine hardship and really needed the money
