there is a form you can fill in on the tax credit website that will tell you if you are eligable to claim.

You may be earning £1mil a year for all we know, even on 16 hours a week.

[ummmm]

You said 'we' claim as a joint application. So does that mean you're already claiming?

Anyway...it doesn't matter how many hours you work it depends on how much you earn. There's a calculator on the HMRC website which will tell how much you can claim.
