JSA claim is this right?

Now I'm confused.
I've just been on the HM Gov Tax Credit calculator and after filling out the online form it tells me that I'm not entitled to anything. This is the website I was using: (sorry can't put a link in as I'm a new user) .gov.uk/child-tax-credit/how-to-claim
After reading several online guides it appears that Tax credits are for people that are working. So I'm guessing here that they only deal with working claims.
Has someone got a link to the correct department please? And of course any info will be greatly appreciated.0 -
Tax credits have 2 elements, working tax credits and child tax credits, People that do not work will receive child tax credits only.
If you can dig out your award letter you will need to contact them asap to advise that you are not working as you may have been receiving working tax credits. As you are on income based JSA you will get the full amount of child tax credits which will be around £114 per week for 2 children0 -
Thank you, I will indeed phone them next week.
Have a nice Easter0
