Working tax credit

[Floridatilly]

Does anyone know if you can claim working tax credit for a foster child? I know you can not claim child benefit as that is only for your own birth children.
So if you had 2 birth children and 1 foster child can you claim working tac credit for 3 children or only for the 2 of your own birth children.
Thank you

You can claim working tax credit as you are classed as self employed. However, you cannot claim child tax credit for foster children.
