How much working tax credit am i entitled to?
You really need to speak to the DWP and tax credits people.


You can apply online. You can call them and they can give you a vague idea but be warned they can give you false information!





I took on more hours at my work a while ago after they told me I qualified for help towards childcare costs and what do you know, when I phoned them to give all the info to them they sent me a letter saying I wasn't entitled to a penny.





I only receive a very small amount of child tax credit (not working families tax credit) and they even managed to mess that up!! Even though I pointed out their massive error in May 2004 they STILL haven't sorted it out! be very careful.





Your local citizens advice will help you but also be careful because you may get money from tax credits but it may end up being deducted from your disability. (this happened to someone I know, hers was knocked off her widows allowance!)
