RE: WTC Entitlement
Tue 26-Apr-05 03:47 PM |
It seems to me there is a danger here which is that if your client wants to claim JSA or IS, their WTC will count as income and reduce their entitlement to the income related benefit.
Yet the WTC will all count as an overpayment when the end of year reconciliation is done. But they won't ever get back the IS or JSA they would have had without the WTC.
I think this could become a common problem when employers stop paying WTC.
One thing I'm curious about, was your client self employed? if not how come they weren't being paid with their salary?
