Does a Residence Order Allowance get treated as income for Tax Credits?

Useful discussion on this topic :

So the answer should be no.

Hi Rachel

It looks like ROA's are completely ignored - see CPAG page 1389 (Reg 19 Table 6 para 11(b) Tax Credits (Definition and Calculation of Income) Regs 2002)

You may be interested in a previous thread which covered the issue of claims for Tax Credits where a ROA was in payment.

see - http://www.rightsnet.org.uk/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=1326&mesg_id=1326&page=1

Looks like I just about beat you to it, Derek, but it was a close thing.
