    How old are you?

    Edit
    Sorry just reread your income. It's too high. Your income has to be below £11,000 pa if you're a singple person over the age of 25.

    It isn't for me it's my cousin. He has a friend who is single, still lives at home with his parents and earns more yet gets wtc.

    £13,300 is the cut off point for a single person over 25, basically the single person earns too much.

    Just out of curiosity are you saying that a single person working a minimum of 15 hrs pw and earning less that £13300 would be entitled to WTC?

    I thought you only got this if you had children?

    I think the single person has to work a minimum of 30 hours pw....and then they can get WTC, but not if they earn too much.

    They also have to be 25+
