Working Tax Credit Disability

I was just wondering if this is correct. At the minute my OH works 37 hours pw for £16k we have a daughter aged 9 months. I don't work and receive MRC and LRM DLA. I have seen a job working 16 hours pw at our local bakery. I was considering going for it and decided to use the tax credit calculator to see how much our tax credits would be affected. When i entered in the information it basically told me that we would receive about £124 pw in tax credits:eek: At the minute we receive 63 CTC and 19 WTC per week. Is this right or have i made some mistake?

What is the £124 made up of? CTC & WTC?

metalgal

the 124 a week would be both CTC and WTC

I think because you're on MRC, you get a premium for that. (in the same way you would if you weren't working and claiming means-tested benefits)

I am single - no children work 16 hrs a week and get roughly £80 ish a week.
Obv yours will be different as a couple/with children etc too!
I was quite suprised by how much i got too!
