Working Tax Credits and Savings

We come under the last option (my wife works 22 hours) - but when I checked "on-line" - I was told that I needed to work at least 16 hours per week !!!
The last one says
one of you works at least 16 hours a week and the person who works has a disability
If it is not the disabled person working then they must work 30 hours to qualify...it does not need you to be working to qualify however your wife must work 30 hours or you must work 160 -
As you don't have any children, and I presume that you are unable to work through ill-health, is there any reason that you wife should not work full-time hours?0

Apart from looking after me and not being able to find another job - NO !!0

Then youre not eligible to claim tax credits. End of.
Why you feel the need to shout at people trying to help you, i dont know.0
