tax credits for my parents

ash4becks

right just being the nice daughter here so thought i would see if mum and dad could get tax credits as i no nothing about it and mum doesnt either, they also have a morgage and i moved out a while ago

mum works 21 hours a week with odd bit of overtime, was wondering if she can get her meds cheaper under low income or free because of her health issues very bad asthma, exctma , depression etc mum has had to have time of though because of her health

dad works 38-40 i think

mum said income at a rough guess is between 16k to 19

any help would be great thanks x

Is the £16k income a combined income or just your mother?

Does your mother have a prepaid prescription card?

income is for both of them, yes she does have a pre pay but friend of mine said he got one for asthma why i was wondering

If there joint income is more than £18,100 a year, you probably don’t qualify for tax credits unless either of the following applies:

• your partner is 50 or over and going back to work after claiming qualifying out-of-work benefits and will be working 16 hours or more a week
• your partner has a disability

This is assuming they have no dependants.

If they are working sixty hours a week between them, then unless they are working for less than minimum wage, their income will be higher than £18,100.
