Notes
* Apart from those mentioned in the footnote below, the elements for which claimants are eligible can be added together to arrive at the maximum amount of tax credit available.
** These elements are mutually exclusive. Where an individual works enough hours to qualify for the 50 plus return to work payment (30+ hours), they cannot also qualify for the 50 plus return to work payment (16-29 hours).
