Can anyone advise on tax credits and hours worked for foster carers? Currently we get the minimum child tax credit and I don't expect this to change.
When I called Tax Credit helpline to let them know I had left my previous job to become a foster carer for LA they wanted to know how many hours per week I worked! She then suggested putting it down as 30 per week. When I spoke to my SSW she thought I should tell them it is a voluntary role and payment is mainly expenses so hoping someone here can tell me how they have managed to sort this.
