Hi All My first time on here, so please accept my apologies now or I will chicken out again. So here goes. Please Please can anybody help, I just need to know, if my husband who is aged 60, is eligible for tax credits he is now working 19 hours a week, following a reduction, by his employers from 30. He had been receiving credit up to the date of reduction. The Tax Credit Office say he is not entitled now? Thank you in anticipation of your assistance.

Can you explain the part in bold please?
As you are a couple it's a joint claim for tax credits. So your income will be taken into consideration also.

He started work for his employer in July 2009, hours increased until they topped 30 in Fbruary this year. Claim submitted and paid from then until hours dropped below in August to just over 20 now on 19 hours. Tax Office continue to send same letter. Comments would be helpful. I do not work, due to unrelated circumstances. No benefits or income received by me.
