That's just creating a poverty trap. Sure you can use math and do a phased in/out credit based on income but that just replaces a welfare cliff with a welfare "steep grade". Unless the credit is so generously applied as to defeat the point of the price hike you're still making the metaphorical gravity well of poverty deeper.
Edit: Did I say something mathematically incorrect or is it just inconvenient?
