Working Tax Credit -

I receive working tax credits of just over £40 a week and I have just moved in with my partner who is a full time student. How will this affect my claim ?

I have looked for info on this, but found very little.

Any help would be appreciated.

    You need to inform the WTC people. You will need to make a new claim as a couple and your partner's income will be taken into account.
  • Thanks, I thought this might be the case.

    As her income is currently nil hopefully I will still receive the same amount.
