    Hi

    I am currently on OPF getting 306 a week as I have four kids. My gross earnings will be around 280 a week, and I get 150 a week maintenance. Can anyone tell me what my OPF payment will reduce to. I need to weigh up my options as I will need to be paying childcare if I return to work. Thanks:)

    if you are going to be orking 19+ hours per week for at least 3 months then you may also qualify for FIS.

    Also some areas qualify for childminding for people going back to work. Enquire at your local office.

    Thanks for that information, I will look into FIS and see what my options are. Then it will be the small impossible matter of sorting my children out with a childminder
