WFTC Advice

Hi

I'm posting on behalf of my DS and his partner.

My DS is currently employed FT (about 48 hours pw) and his partner was employed for around 17 hours per week. They have a 2 year old and were claiming WFTC.

My DS's partner has recently been made redundant and is currently looking for PT work. As she is not currently working, is it likely that the amount of WFTC they receive will go up or down.

Thanks

    They don't get the childcare element

    Unfortunately I don't know their full income details to enter into entitledto and their laptop is broken.
