If you work but are on a low income, you may be able to claim tax credits or other benefits.
If you have a partner, government agencies will want to know your partner's income as well as your own to calculate what benefits or tax credits you may be entitled to. You cannot claim as a single person if you are part of a couple.
If you or your partner have a child who lives with you both, you may be entitled to claim child tax credit.
