Question about working tax credits when on maternity leave

$

I am currently on maternity leave and have been since June 2012. My maternity pay finished last month and I now get nothing, apart from the standard £20 weekly child benefit from the government. I go back to work in July and I work 35 hours per week - my salary is in excess of £30k. My husband works approximately 40 hours per week, sometimes more and earns around £20k - sometimes more, sometimes less depending on the amount of hours he does. So my question is, as I am not earning anything at the moment (but am still employed) and my husband only earns around £20k (we only have one child and don't need to pay for any childcare), would we be entitled to working tax credits?
