    My husband is going back to college in September. I will be working part time so our earnings with be low enough to apply for WFP. We have 2 young kids.
    My husband will not be working during the college terms but intends to work during summer holidays.
    My question is once we go above the threshold for WFP during the summer holidays due to the extra income is the WFP stopped and then we apply again once he returns to college the following September?

    According to citizens advice the payment is not means tested. Does this mean that the payment is based solely on our income?
