Self Employed Tax Credits Help, Please?

We've split up a week or so ago after I found him emailing other women (on Anastasiadate if you want the details, Russian brides). Hence my now considering claiming WTC as I'm back on my own. Thanks for reminding me that I'm now not only stuck renting a grotty room somewhere I hate but that I'm also single again at the wrong side of 30 and betrayed by someone I trusted after planning a whole life with them with a new house and a wedding and an entire future, on top of all my other problems. It's lovely when someone you love plans on secretly trading you in for a younger, hotter model whose brain and body work as intended while you already loath every aspect of your appearance and wish to high fukc that you were healthy and normal. Yeah, thanks for that.
Sorry if that comes across as bitter, but frankly I AM bitter.

Everyone else, thank you for your help.
Have you any idea what kind of proof I'd need? I mean, do I enter it in diaries or something?
Having trouble thinking today, I'm sure the answer is obvious. Sorry for asking.
Thanks.

Some of those historic posts do detail exactly what the HMRC expect the claimant to provide to them when they are investigated, see if you can find it - off the top of my head, I think it included customer appointments, quotes, invoices, receipts and so on.

I don't think it included diaries unless perhaps you mean it to prove meetings or something.

Some of the posters here recommend that a WTC self employed claimant keep a diary of how they spend their time but I can't see why the HMRC might accept that as proof per se about complying with WTC - anyone can write anything in a diary...But you never know, see if you can dig out those threads as they do say what the HMRC have asked them for.
