Hi,

Can anyone please advise me, I am in the process of leaving my partner and moving back in with my parents till i can get things sorted. I have 3 children
What im wanting to know is

1. Can i claim tax credits if im living with my parents.
2. What years income would be used for the new claim 2015/2016 income or 2017/2018

many thanks

1) Yes
2) The claim form will ask for your last year's income, 2016/17. You can notify them of any changes to 2017/18 income.
