I read the change as being back in 2014 to 2015 so would have been a couple claim for Tax Credits.Rubyroobs said:Your tax credits claim should have ended when your partner moved in and you should have claimed Uc then.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.1 -
That may have been incomplete advice. You could possibly have been added to her ESA claim because an old ESA claim can be a mix of contribution based and income based - however you were almost certainly better off on UC especially off you were doing any work. It also means that you get NI credits which you wouldn't have got as an addition to her ESA.mimik001 said:She claims the old contribution-based ESA. After the Tax Credits fiasco we were told we would need to claim UC as a couple.
As advised by spoonie and poppy, the contribution based part of her ESA continues alongside the UC.mimik001 said:.. we were told we would need to claim UC as a couple. We did this, but they have kept her on the old ESA!!Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.0
