Whoops - got it wrong again!

I think you got it confused with that only one parent needs to work 16 hours to be entitled to WTC.

Hi

I hope someone can help me here as I am not sure how the whole thing works. My girlfriend is at university for the next 12 months studying to be a teacher. I work full time and earn £27k a year.

Do you think I would be able to claim family tax credits or receive any help towards nursery?

Thanks.

You should def make a claim for tax credits, initially it will be base don last year's earnings and may show a small or NIL award. Once you receive your award you can call the helpline and they can amend this year's estimated income and have pymts started. Get the form asap - they only backdate 3 months.

Childcare - you won;t qualify unless your partenr receives disability living allowance or ESA/Incap benefit. You may be able to claim help through the uni or department for education and skills.
