To check that you are receiving all the benefits and tax credits you’re entitled to, you will need the following information for everyone who lives in your home:
- dates of birth
- if employed or self-employed – number of hours worked
- gross income from employment for the last tax year – April 6 to April 5 - a P60 form will provide this, or if self-employed, last year’s accounts
- gross income for this year – payslips or estimate if self-employed
- if you are currently receiving benefits, all the benefit award letters/emails
- child care costs – details of childcare provider and how much you pay
- investment income – details of investments and latest interest payments (bank statements may be the best way to show this)
- tenancy agreement or current mortgage repayment details
- council tax bill
