Return to work benefits

Return to work benefits was created by IT2Go4IT
Having now returned to work for a limited number of hours per week (17.5) it would seem I may be entitled to a £100 work grant(one off payment) and £40 per week back to work credit for a year.

Does anyone know if these are taxable?

Also is there anything else I should be claiming for?

Thank you

You may also be entitled to Working Tax Credits -look especially at the disability element.If you're over 50 this will include the over 50 element for the first year, too.

The "In Work Credit" is tax-free, and if the one-off payment is a "Job Grant", then it is as well.

I think that the over 50 element has gone or is going there was might still be going a one £100 payment too

I'm just a fraction under 50 but have completed the form for working tax credit so see what happens.
