Can someone check the checker?  one adult one child

As when I check with what Spoonie has posted it just has £16,047  as the limit  ignoring the child.

The next column along on the guidance shows £20,837

I'm not saying you shouldn't get it, but if someone is relying on the checker, and the checker isn't correct, could that be the reason they have rejected you.

Oh yes sorry - I see what you mean! I just don't know how to escalate it and I can't even get through on the phone anymore

Thank you all for your help!

For that to be the reason (with the on-line checker), your income would need to be above £16,048.

That's the income threshold for WTC. The income threshold for the WHD would be completely different. Whether you're entitled will depend on your annual income. I've just used the checker and put in annual income of £18,000 and again using £17,000 with 1 child and it said not entitled and it wouldn't let me put in anymore information about any property.

I don't think that's right either. I used the checker and put in income of £16,000 and then it prompted me to put my postcode in.

No, the table was of the thresholds for the WHD for people claiming Tax Credits.  It was from the gov.uk WHD eligibility page.

That's what I read.
The checker doesn't seem to account for any children.

Ahhhh just had a look and if you tick Child Tax Credits as well as WTC it asks about children and number of adults.

It asks but doesn't seem to include them (children)in the calculation
