Working Tax Credits & TWO jobs?

tupac662

just a quick query on behalf of my mum...

She has 2 jobs, working in an office 40hrs & a care home 3-4 nights a week.
Combined salary is £25k p.a over 70+ hrs a week :eek::eek:
Would she be entitled to any benefits?

thanks in advance

She will not qualify for WTC on £25,000 pa.

Does she have school age children?

I wouldn't have a clue off the top of my head but try https://www.entitledto.com where you can get a rough guide of what you may be able to claim. HTH

No she doesn't have any young kids, 21 & 24 yr olds.

A single person must earn below approx £13,000 to be eligible for WTC. She would not be eligible for help with housing costs either.

why would you think she would be entitled to benefits on that income? Not exactly in poverty when kids are grown up.

The purpose of this board is for people to find out if they are entitled. Would you rather people didn't ask, and carried on in blissful ignorance?
