Will my dole effect my parents tax credits?

Hello People,

Basically I have just recently graduated from university, during this time I was living in Newcastle and my parents were/are claiming tax credits.

What I would like to know is by me moving back and applying for the dole will this effect their credits in anyway?

Hope someone can shed some light onto the situation.

Cheers//
Calum

    No, but if they are claiming hb or ctb it will.
  • So by applying for tax credits on their own it shouldn't effect them?
    They do however receive a reduction of some kind on their council tax, is this likely to effect anything?
