    He has already taken his spouse's personal tax credit. That is what has gotten him to 95. If his spouse doesn't work outside the home and isn't in receipt of any taxable income then he should claim the home carer's tax credit.

    If it's jobseekers benefit yes, if it's jobseekers allowance no.

    Sorry to be a pain. But one more question. His wife gets 86 euro per week family income supplement. Will this affect him getting an increase in his tax credits ?
