Tax credits

[bimbobaggins]

I seperated from my long term partner about two months ago. I work part time and am applying for tax credits.

When i was doing the online calculator it said do not include any maintenance.
I now have my application form and i do not see any section to include maintenance payments. Is this correct that they do not ask for this information?

[DevonFolk]

Yes. Maintenance should never be included when calculations are based on income.

Thank you DevonFolk. I will get my form filled in.

yes correct they do not take into consideration any maintenance as Devonfolk said, odd but maybe I guess they have instances where it is not a consistent payment
