Is my son entitled to Working Tax Credits?

My eldest son is 24, and lives at home with myself and my wife, his mother. He has 2 part time jobs, working a total of about 23 hours per week. He also receives a Disability Living Allowance. Would he be entitled to claim Working Tax Credits, given his total income from the 2 jobs is about £8,500 per year?
Many thanks!

Many thanks, blondebubbles! I went through the calculator and he could, indeed, be entitled to wtc's! No mention at all of living with his parents.
Thanks, again bb!0 -

Living with a partner wouldn't affect the claim. Only living with a partner would affect it.
bb: I think that should read "Living with a parent wouldn't affect the claim"!0 -

You need to be 25 to claim Working Tax Credits (and that may change tomorrow), unless you have children.

I assume the OP's son qualifies at his age because he claims DLA.0
