Working tax credits if living with parents??

samiig

I have looked everywhere but can not find anything on this.

I am 26 and still living at home with my parents. I am in full time work/ but flexible hours, I do an average of 26-34 hrs a week.

I struggle to pay my rent to my parents, and all my bills. I earn under 13,000 in total including my small amount of self employment. But only about 11,000 from my employment. so I have been wondering if I Would be entitled to working tax credits?

On the hmrc website, with all my info entered I do qualify in theory, but It doesn't mention about if you live at home with parents. so I'm unsure I actually qualify or not.

I don't want to claim, to be told later that I suddenly need to pay it all back.

Does anyone have any info on this.?

Can you claim working tax credit when living at home with parents?

Thank you!

Yes you can. What your parents earn doesn't matter.
