EEA Law & entitlement to Child Benefit and Child Tax Credit Thu 16-Aug-07 09:26 AM
I have a client from Latvia who has been in the country for three years. She has worked for nearly two of the three and paid national insurance for some of this period. She cannot work presently because of illhealth. She resides with partner who is British and working full time.
Her thirteen year old son has recently come to live with them intending to stay but may return back to Latvia to finish education. Can mum claim Child benefit and Child Tax Credit. Can family claim Working Tax credit? My client claimed IB but contributions insufficient to qualify.
Have looked at CPAG Handbook but confused. Can anyone advise?. Thanks. Linda
