Why wouldn't I be? I live down south so pay £850 month rent (£10,200 year) and we are a small family of 2 adults and a 2 year old.Thought for the day: each generation of mankind tends to hug the illusion of having reached the culmination of human achievement. Yet, as we scoff at our groping ancestors, so our descendants will surely scoff at us.

I'm aware up north I could probably get a mansion on my wage. Down here can barely afford a box :rotfl:Thought for the day: each generation of mankind tends to hug the illusion of having reached the culmination of human achievement.

So I emailed them and they confirmed that tax credits are included in my income but housing benefit isn't. Tax credits tip me over the threshold so unfortunately I am not eligible.Izzy_Ziddi wrote: »Hope it works out for you all the best.

Still doesn't make sense.
The income threshold of £16,190 is assessed by HMRC. HMRC don't include tax credits as income for tax or tax credit purposes.0 -

Cheers.
I agree with DS - that is not correct, it is your income for tax credit purposes that is relevant, not income + tax credits. Who is it that you are emailing?

The results of a Google search for the eligibility for free childcare for 2 year olds when in receipt of child tax credits are not consistent.
Some say total income to the household, some say annual income,
Isle of Wight says
"Child Tax Credit, provided you have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190, assessed by Her Majesty!!!8217;s Revenue & Customs'

tax credits and they have an annual income of under £16,190 before tax0
