Hi guys i need a bit of help. I get pip and the disability element of working tax credits and i work 33 hrs a week. Can you tell me if my disability element of working tax credits will change if my wages (not hours) go up or is it not effected. I cannot find any info on this just normal working tax credits. im just curious what happens if i got a pay rise at work.
Thank you  :)

    Tax credits are based on the previous years earnings unless there's a £2,500 difference. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/help/how-tax-credits-work
    You can also use a benefits calculator and put in different figures to see what it comes up with. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/benefits-calculator

    Hello and welcome @warnawoo Great username! How are you doing today?

    I hope Poppy's advice has helped clear things up for you. It's definitely worth using the benefits calculator to see how a wage rise would impact your disability element. I'm hoping you would still be better off overall  :)

    Please let us know if we can help in any other way. Take care and have a fab Thursday.
