In Work Credit
In work credit is a fixed tax free payment of £40 per week (£60 per week in London).
You need to be:
- Bringing up children on your own
- Starting work of at least 16 hours per week
- Expect the work to last 5 weeks or more
You must also have been getting Income Support or Jobseeker’s Allowance (or a combination of these benefits) for at least 52 weeks or more without a break.
If you’re entitled to In Work Credit you need to claim it before you start work.

Karoove – My new craft site
Hi I have been claiming the in work credit or back to work credit as it is apparently known as now for 5 months. I have had to change my bank account and wanted to contact them in regards to the new details. This is proven harder than extracting blood from a stone?! Please could you help me with a telephone no.
Thanks
Back to work credit is handled by your local Jobcentre. The best link I can find is the one to find your local jobcentre. I would phone them or call into them instead of using email to contact them. http://los.direct.gov.uk/default.aspx?type=1&lang=en
Hi been in touch with the jobcentre several times no luck been into the jobcentre in shrews and spoke one of the managers was given the tax credits no and they were no help? Was also given the inland rev no lol… no one seems to know nothing about it. Was also told today that it was called return to work credit….thats not true either as that is to do with long term disability and coming back to work from that???
Have you looked at the contact details on the letters that would have been sent to you telling you what they were going to be paying you etc ? There will be contact details on there.
Will have to have a look for it. I just had one from them asking for payslips to proove Im still working and instead of sitting down and writing a quick not of attachment I shuved the letter in with the payslips GRRR. Thanks for the reply – hopefully they will send in back with the payslips?
