Are you self employed or employed?
With working 30+ hours per week you must have an income which tax credits top up

employed 39 hour week ....

Working 39 hours your tax credits must be very minimal on a single claim.
Someone with a claim based on £13k would get £20 for the year total. £12k your be £430 for the year (unless you have a disability) and minimum wage is somewhere between the two numbers

Surely if you are classed as single and working full time with no dependants you would not qualify for Tax Credits anyway? I only work 30 hours a week and don't qualify.

but surely the definition is living ... i filled out another form but expressed that she was subject to immigration control etc .. and wasn't expecting anything else on top just update records .....

paul1263

I am registered disabled Caz ..unfortunately ....if i wasn't my money would be one heck of a lot more

They have said they have applied for a national insurance number for her .. i told them she wont qualify for one as she doesn't live here permanently nothing in the immigration has been properly sorted yet we are still in the beginning stages of that .... but they are insistant they want her to get one and thats where i have got confused .

So what's happened with that claim?

As you'll see from my previous post, it won't matter if she is subject to immigration control as long as you are not.

I am British ...but its this bit i can't understand i have put down she is not entitled .... so how come i haven't qualified or been paid tax credits ........

You've already answered your own question, because she doesn't have a national insurance number.

That isn't a tax credit issue and I don't know the rules behind getting one.

Should have left it as it is ... but thats dishonest ... i thought seeing as nothing really has changed then the taxcredits would stay the same ...........ah well will have to struggle with even less money now back to heat or eat again .......
