WTC+CTC confusing 30 hour element

I have been on the hmrc website to see if we are entitled to wtc in my new job. We are currently getting 60 a week which they say includes wtc but not the 30 hour element as i was struggling to get the 30 hours in each week. We have one child who is 13 months old.

I have been on JSA for 2 weeks when i lost my previous job but have now got another job. its between 36 and 48 hours a week. My partner does not work.

Just wondering whether we would be entitled to WTC along with the CTC?

Many thanks
Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day, and for once I'm inclined to believe Withnail is right. We are indeed drifting into the arena of the unwell.

    If your household income is over £18k then you wont be entitled to any wtc.

    Sorry.

    You can input your details into HMRC tax credit site here http://taxcredits.hmrc.gov.uk/
