Graduated. New Job. Looking for advice.

[Chris2014]

Im in the following situation.

I was on BTEA for 4 years while in college therefore i have a medical card which i can keep for another couple of years i believe.

I stated work half way through the year which means there are some advantages of having a full years tax credits if im not mistaken.

Im on 28k. Renting a property. 2 kids. Partner is still in college.

So far ive gathered that i can get a refund of USC due to the medical card. I believe i can claim something back as i start work half way though the year also.

Is there anything else i can take advantage of in my situation? Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks

Chris2014,

Family Income Supplement would be worth looking into. If your income is below a certain level, according to the number of children you have, you may qualify for this extra payment.

Might be a good idea to give Citizen's Info a call as there seems to be a few issues that you need advice on. You might be able to call them on 0214521600 instead of those dreadful 1890 numbers.
