working tax credit

Hi, advise please. Can I work 15 hours in one shop and work 9 hours in another shop to make up 24 hours so we can claim working tax credit.

    Yes you can add hours together in two jobs.

    Have you double checked that the 24 hour rule applies to you? Some people qualify at 16 hours or 30 hours.

    I am already doing 24 hour and claiming working tax credit, but want to work closer to home which means working 15 hours in my local area and 9 hours in London. Total of working hours 24. Is that OK to do that and still get working tax credit.
