Home carers credit and signing for credits

[OneQuestion]

My husband was made redundant in 2011, due to my income when means tested is not eligible for jobseekers allowance and is signing for credits while continuing to look for a job.

Just wondering is he entitled to claim for home carers tax credit as our kids no longer need after school care as he is at home.
Thanks

Of course. It is not a direct payment, it is really a tax credit for you.
