My friend is 61 and a hairdresser with low wages. I advised her to apply for working tax credits. When she rang up the Tax Credit Office (last week) she was told she had too high an income, but when I type her details into the calculator, it says she does qualify.
Her income for this tax year is likely to be:
£10,200 from Rent a Room (of which I understand £7,500 doesn't qualify as income)
£6,500 wages
making a yearly income of £9,200
