I have been having a problem claiming my tax credits and child tax credits for almost 2 yrs now. In November of 2009 I made a new claim to include my husband who was now living permanantly with us. While I am a british citizen and so are our 3 children he is not and is in the country illegally. I have disclosed this information to hmrc. Yesterday I received a letter letting me know that our joint claim would not be paid out because there was no record of 1 adult on the aplication. My question is that can mine and my entitlement be disregarded because of my husbands status. He has not been able to put in an application to regularise his stay because we have not been able to pay for all the relevant stuff needed.
To top it all of I was made redundant begining of this year a few weeks after finding out I was pregnant again with our last child so at the moment we are all surviving on just my maternity allowance and child benefit. I am very confused as I assumed that I would at least be entitled to child tax credits. I hope you can help me understand this.
