Is this right?? TAx credits

lynzpower

Ive just popped onto entitled to - to have a quick gander whether wed be entitled to council tax benefit. Given my savings , its not, but i thought worth a stab.

Now, it looks as if my OH is entitled to tax credits- at 79 a week.

Hes the only one earning at the mo, and he makes 13k gross.

Does this look right?

Looks about right to me Lynz, £13k is not an awful lot for a year to support 2, with you not working.

Get him to apply ! You have nothing to lose

If its just the pair of you and your not disaabled, that looks too much tax credits.

When my ex was on £12.500 a year, we were getting a bit more then that with a child.

I am under the impression you would only get a tiny amount on that wage with no children. MAy be wrong though

That does seem a lot .

Dh earns roughly that, we have three children and get around £20 a week in working tax credits. We get child tax credit on top, but you wouldn't get that without children, obviously!

Would be different if one of you has a disability though, as already said.
