I've been posed a problem by our childrens' services: Client is 16, primary carer, parent, died last year. Other parent presents risk to her, so estranged. Client has 18 yo partner, in work, earnings currently unknown. Partner cannot get ChB for client as in relationship with her. She can't get free school meals, as doesn't meet conditionalities. Can partner claim CTC for partner? Disability Rights handbook says no, WelfareBenedfits & Tax Credits Handbook seems more equivocal. client is now trying for a child in order to get CHB and housing.
Thanking you in advance for your superior knowledge and wisdom.
