Working Tax Credits & Zero Hours Contract

I am starting a job at KFC on Monday, but it is on a ZHC, but I will most likely be doing more than 30 hours per week, I was just wondering if I can claim WTC, if so when can I make the claim

Thanks in advance

    If you work more than 30 hours a week in a single person household and are aged 25 or over, you could claim (doesn't matter about the contracted hours on a ZHC, if you usually work 30 hours or over).

    Put your details into the calculator on the HMRC site.
