You can and should claim Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit jointly with your partner. If your visa status is no recourse to public funds this is the only way you will receive it. Only one of you submitting the claim has to be under no immigration control.

If you claimed the Child Tax Credit under only one name then try calling the Tax Credit Helpline and see if you can add your partner to the claim. Both of your income details will have to be given.
