    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


    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    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.
