WendywitchThe tax credit is a benefit paid to you on top of your net pay. Extra allowances are available to help with the cost of childcare provided by a registered childminder and after school clubs at local authority registered properties. If you are sick short term, you can still be classed as working. So you can receive working tax credit while you are on statutory sick pay (SSP), or on the low rate of incapacity benefit. All these benefits last for a maximum of 28 weeks, so if you are off sick for longer, you can no longer get working tax credit.

Try this as well.


Basically, it says that as you are employed and in receipt of SSP, you are treated as working for the purposes of claiming WTC. Can I suggest you see a welfare rights person with a view to taking this to Tribunal?

This says similar - even stating you can be in receipt of disability (which includes sickness) related benefits to claim.

And, more usefully, I have found this;

If you are off work for up to 28 weeks because of illness and are
receiving either:
• Statutory Sick Pay (SSP)
• short-term Incapacity Benefit at the lower rate
• an Employment and Support Allowance
• Income Support paid on the grounds of incapacity for work, or
• National Insurance credits on the grounds of incapacity for work or
limited capability for work

then you will still be able to claim Working Tax Credit, provided you
worked at least 16 or 30 hours a week (whichever applied) immediately
before you started to receive any of these benefits. This also applies if you
are self-employed.

We treat you as working if you were:
• on maternity, paternity or adoption leave
• on the first 10 days of strike leave, or
• suspended from work

as long as you were working at least 16 hours a week before taking leave or
being suspended.

When the 28 weeks of sick leave are over you continue to be eligible for
Working Tax Credit if you begin work again at that point. Any further sick
leave does not count as being in work. You must tell us within one month if
you do not go back to work after the 28 weeks.

Get your ferritin checked please

I'm seeing the GP for an interim check re my new anti-d's next Monday, so will try to remember to mention it. What's ferritin, please? Just so that I know what I'm asking her.;) Sounds like something iron-y, as in ferrous? (Either that or a small furry animal.):rotfl:

Well, in my first HHC I have:

Taken the Kitchen composting out to the garden composter,
Emptied WM & loaded TD
Tidied away lunch things
S&S kitchen sides & bleached sink
Hoover and Mop Bathroom - I also got an old toothbrush & scrubbed the floor edge where it meets the skirting all around the floor.

Clean sink and toilet, including the pedestal front and all the yunk behind - Behind the sink pedestal was really really gross. Have I EVER cleaned there ??? - I'm really not sure :eek:

Sazdaz

Cant believe that I was so excited to get home and start my list. Bathroom is now so much cleaner than it has been for quite a while and have cleaned things that normally get left to the end. Rest of the house is still bit of a mess but hoping to have a quick tidy up after finished paperwork.
Cos I did my list fast feel like i have had a work out so not going to do my two classes tonight, save £10, get my paperwork done and then try to attack tomorrows list partially tonight once its up as tomorrow a manic day. :eek:

I find it all very confusing but basically because I was off work same time the previous year (2010) the company I work for have added it to this year (as in June 2011 onwards) sickness so it been over 28 weeks.
I personally don't understand it so the woman in H.R and the woman from tax credits explained it all to my friend and her husband as well.
I will show them what you posted when I see them on Wednesday see what they think.
None of this is helping with my depression and anxiety

Thanks for the welcome everyone xxx
