    Glad to help, Fionas.

    You can receive PPS until your youngest is 8. Once you go back to work, you can earn $174 a fn before you payment is affected.
    For me, the biggest issue has been child *care - there simply isn't any. Period. So I can't work until I can get DD2 into care, at least 4 days a week, or it will cost me more in lost PP and CC costs than I would be making. :/

    I am studying FT though so have access to the Pensioner Education Supplement, which is about a days cost of CC each fn.
