Thousands of disabled people could be eligible for £4,600 a year – in tax credits
If you have a disability and are receiving Personal Independence Payment, then you could be eligible for a bonus – from the taxman (or woman).
If you are still able to work, you might also be able to get the disability element of Working Tax Credit, totalling up to £3,220 a year, or up to £4,610 if your disability is severe.
Gov.uk’s tax calculator can help you find out how much you could receive – you can do it here.
It is true that tax credits have been replaced by Universal Credit for most people, so usually you can only make a new claim for tax credits if you also receive the severe disability premium, are entitled to it, or if this was the case within the past month.
If you can’t make a new claim for tax credits, you may still be able to apply for Universal Credit (or Pension Credit if you and your partner are State Pension age or over).
You have nothing to lose.
Have YOU donated to my crowdfunding appeal, raising funds to fight false libel claims by TV celebrities who should know better? These court cases cost a lot of money so every penny will help ensure that wealth doesn’t beat justice.
