My wife gets about £110 a month in child benefit and tax credit. I am going BR but my wife is not. Will these benefits be taken into account on our I & E's? I am sure i read somewhere that benefits are not included as income.

Hi Hammy,

Is The claim for tax and working tax credits a joint claim?

If so you will need to enter these in the relevant section for benefits and then any amount you wife contributes towards the bills separately.


Kind Regards,

The tax bit i think is based upon the families earnings, i.e just mine as my wife doesn't earn. This is worth £10.50 a week. The rest is child benefit at about £70 every 4 weeks. Are either of these added to MY incomings?

Yes they will be, but the you will be made a full allowance against them as child benefit is meant to be spent on the children.

For an informal chat about any financial difficulties, or advice as to the options available, I can be contacted via my website - www.melaniegiles.com
