Hi

 

Good place to go is CAB they know all the things you can claim. I know of lots of people who have gone there and found out there was loads of other benefits which they were entitled to but never even knew about.

You can get an idea of entitlement by using this site, but it is just a guide: Start Calculation

 

She will need to get in touch with Tax Credit, as the claim will be based upon her income support payments and if she claimed as a single person for tax credit, she will now need to end that claim from the date you began to live together/stopped receiving IS and start a joint claim with you, otherwise she could end up with a discrepancy which could result in them recovering any money they pay. Any money she was entitled to as a single person will still be paid once they work out her entitlement.

 

Any questions, just ask away!

My advice is based on my opinion, my experience and my education. I do not profess to be an expert in any given field. If requested, I will provide a link where possible to relevant legislation or guidance, so that advice provided can be confirmed and I do encourage others to follow those links for their own peace of mind. Sometimes my advice is not what people necesserily want to hear, but I will advise on facts as I know them - although it may not be what a person wants to hear it helps to know where you stand. Advice on the internet should never be a substitute for advice from your own legal professional with full knowledge of your individual case.
