Hi im a carer getting 67.25 a week. My husband is also carer getting the same.
We are getting  ctc for our child... We get tge family element, chikd element, disability and severe disability element. Totalling around £8000 a year or £150 a week
Our income last year was £8000
My husnand has got a new job he will be on £17000 a year. He will end his carers claim.he will be working 37 hours a week. 
 I will still claim carers which will be £3898 for the year.

Does anyone know how this will effect our claim.

Use a benefits calculator. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/benefits-calculator/Intro/Home?cid=94f932ed-9362-4c8c-92f6-ab5c1cc837eb

You will need to report the changes to HMRC.

Our income now will be £17000 +4000 =21000.
Will we get the ctc threshold of £16385+ the working tax threshold of £6035?
Or one or both?

Did you actually use the benefits calculator?

Tax Credits are notoriously difficult to calculate - you need to use a calculator as suggested by poppy. Use two to see if you get the same answer.
