SPCCC query

jackrussel

Hi all, quick question.

my partner & I have a 2yo. The mom currently has the SPCCC as we’re not married although we are living together. She is employed but is out sick, has been for awhile (chronic illness) & will be out until at least September. She gets illness benefit from the DSP & also child benefit for our daughter.

would it mess up her payments from the DSP if I was to take the SPCCC from her & pass it back when she is back working again? If it were to cause any issue, we’d leave it as it is.

thanks

Cohabiting, not eligible

She already has it. Best leave alone so?

She claimed it in error. If Revenue gets wind of it they'll claw it back.

She needs to have it removed from when she no longer met the terms and conditions of the relief. Conditions below. If there's any tax liability, she can look to see if it can be collected by reducing her tax credits in the future.

Exactly.

When claiming the SPCCC, one has to tick a box to indicate whether one is co-habiting or not.

A fraudulent claim is a serious matter.
