This is a link to the tax credits manual and the links for what you need


www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/tctmanual/TCTM02500.htm

my understanding is that your not on any of the lists that give you the working tax disability premium

you might get it when you go back if you earn less than before about 20% less I think is needed

you need expert advice but that link gives you access to what they have at the tax office

Question ? Where you working became sick ? and then wanted to add the premium to your tax credit claim ? if so wont work also they only pay working tax credits (if in pay) for 28 weeks once you become sick

if its none of the above cant think of anything else
