Advice on ESA

[Patdoyle]

Hi just wondering if anyone knows whether you can claim child tax credits if claiming contribution based ESA.

Hi Patdoyle

According to the *GOV.UK website, then it is a maybe, depending on your circumstances i.e. income and savings. I have pasted you an excerpt from the site and a link to the cache that you are looking for below:

gov.uk/government/uploads/s...

*Entitlement to working tax credits and child tax credits may also continue,

depending on an individual’s circumstances at the time and new levels of

income. People must tell HM Revenue & Customs if they are receiving tax

credits and any of their circumstances change. This includes any changes to

their partner’s circumstances, if they have a partner.   We have amended regulations so that, if parts of your award of tax credits are dependent upon receiving contribution-based Employment and Support Allowance, you may still be able to qualify if you remain entitled to National Insurance credits on the basis of having limited capability for work after your entitlement to contribution-based Employment and Support Allowance has terminated under the time limit

I want to genuinely and sincerely wish you all the best of luck, and please take care of yourself.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

Hi Patdoyle  

Can I suggest that you get in touch with our own benefits advisor Janet as she will probably know the answer to your question. 

I have given you the link for her contact details here :

Wishing you all the very best.
