Working tax credits and savings

I have just sold my house and will be rented accommodation for a few months until I buy another. Consequently I will have about £200,000 in my bank account for this period of time. Will this affect my working tax credit?

It depends how much interest you earn on it but that will only count on this years income.0

The capital won't, but any interest you earn over £300 will count as income for the purposes of WTC, guess with that amount you'll be making a few hundred a month in interest. But there's a £10k disregard for income increases so may not affect you this year. But could reduce your tax credits a bit next year (from April)0
