We are still on WTC, but due to have it cutoff shortly (not sure when, just waiting for the date), as we do not want universal credits. But I am about to have state pension, my wife still has 6 years to go. Can we both have WTC at the same time. Or does mine get cut at pension age, and can my wifes continue.

Hi 
If both of you are currently working your award will include 2 elements for WTC.
Working Tax Credit can only be paid to the nominated payee.
If one person stops working you must notify the Tax Credit Office straightaway. If the person leaving work is the nominated payee for WTC, this can be changed to the partner, providing that the partner meets the eligibility criteria for WTC. Information on eligibility can be found  here Working Tax Credit: Eligibility - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
For information about making changes please go to Manage your tax credits - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
Thank you.
