Why do you think you would be entitled to any extra money?
Is £19,200 not enough?0 -
The answer to your question.....
No, you do not qualify for any extra benefits, your income is too high. Tax credits are for low income families, you are a degree qualified nurse on a decent wage (The median UK salary is £19800, i.e 50% earn more, 50% earn less)
If you have a child, you will get some form of child tax credits on that income, but no you will not get any form of working tax credits.0 -
thanks, at last a straight answer0
