You need to inform TCO that you are taking unpaid leave. You will be unable to claim WTC when you are not in remunerative employment.0

Am in a similar situation to you- unpaid leave at presnt Spoke with TC and if you are away from work for more than 4 weeks you CANNOT claim WTC but MAY be eligible for Child Tax Credit still.... Sadly you Cannot even claim JSA or Income Support as you have voluntarily taken leave form work and you are still trchnically 'employed'. ARgggggghhhh its a nightmare sadly as you cannot get any financal help, even though you have worked previously nad intend to return to work shortly. Good luckWhat goes around... comes around...0
