WTC question
Comments
-
I put it through as if I dont get ANY benefit and declared DLA. Mentioned my partners hours and rate as that all partner gets. Says £89.54 WTC would be payable. As a result this means we get some help with HB and CT.
So in a situation of what help will we get with HB/CT as if no help we shall be screwed big time!*SIGH*0 -

Why do you think that a non disabled person should be entitled to a disabled premium just because their partner is disabled? You aren't filling the forms in correct hence why you are getting wrong results.
I got two others to do it. emailed them and they are getting the same information. However when it gives the WTC result, changed it to incorrect and nothing and says rent be paid in full and Council Tax.
My opinion is that the site is not giving accurate information, thats 3 people with no influnce from myself getting the same result. One other being my Dad as he said exactly what your saying.
I was also thinking it was wrong then maybe it was me, so retried many times.0 -
Bryando can I suggest you book and appointment at the CAB they will do a benefits calculation for you, because at this moment in time some of your posts are saying different things. One minute you will be working 16 hours the next you will only be claiming DLA. Entitledto works fine if you input the correct figures which I believe you are not doing.*SIGH*0
