Working Tax Credit

jontet

I am currently claiming working tax credit. I will be 55 in december and therefore entitled to take my personal pension - but I do not intend to start taking it until i am 65. Do I need to declare this. I am asking this because I seem to remember that on the original claim form it asked are you currently deffering taking a pension you are currently entitled to, but the question does not appear on the renewal forms.:cool:

you would not need to declare that, only when you recieve any income from the pension would you need to declare it.

I think you are wrong. It is income you can have if you so wish so has to be declared as far as I am aware.

I remember a thread on the very same subject not long ago.

on second thoughts I think the thread was about claiming means tested benefits so i may be wrong.
Best ring them and get it from the horses mouth, so to speak.
