    Why do you think you are not entitled?

    Condition One states you must work 16hrs or more per week. You meet this.

    Condition Two states you have a disability that puts you at a disadvantage in getting a job. Check here for criteria - https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/419560/TC956.pdf

    Condition Three states you must be getting or have received a qualifying benefit. You meet this as on DLA.
    Sorry Condition 2 is one that I cant meet

    Are you sure? Nornally if awarded DLA it is easy to meet one of the conditions.

    What type of disability do you have eg visual, physical, mental health?
    Get DLA For Depression Anxiety

    I received TC603R from Tax Credits last month and I wrote back to them with slight change. I now have received TC602(D) provisional form with the correct income.

    Do I need to ring/write to them again, that income is right or will they now renew my Tax Credits?

    Thanks

    You are receiving treament (medication) from a medical person (GP).

    I don't see any issues with you making a claim.
