Claiming Tax Credits Whilst Living With Parents?

Hi everyone :)

Im a single parent with one child and I am moving back in with my parents, will this affect the fact that I get single parent tax credits? I dont claim any other benefits, just child tax credits and working tax credits.

Many Thanks in advance.

    Yes you will continue to get the tax credits as normal.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
