Working Tax Credits

I currently claim ESA. However, I am about to start working for myself, and initially, on the figures, I will be eligible to claim working tax credit.
I am separated but live with my son who earns about £17k pa. He is looking to buy a place in the near future.
Will my son's earnings affect any WTC I receive?

No his earnings won't affect it.
However, if you are planning to become self-employed ensure you keep detailed records of all hours worked and what you did in those hours. HMRC are now checking claims quite rigorously, if not when you claim at a later date. A diary is one good way of ensuring you have the evidence they need.
