I claimed child tax credit jointly. Then had no eligible children & told them. Payments stopped. OK so far. (I was overpaid apparently but hey ho - sort it later) We split up & CAB told me to tell tax credit office and to claim as an individual for working tax credit. I did & was given full award.Hurrah! I Queried hours to be eligible cos it went on about 30 hours,not counting breaks - I only get paid for 28. Was told I wasn't eligible after all. Boo! Man on phone said talk to boss ref hours & they said yes, say 30 & we will give you extrs 2 hours - Kind boss! Rang tax office & told them & they said would be in touch. Just had letter from wtc office saying I am STILL not entitled to wtc. Have I done something wrong or shall I just give up. I was hoping wtc would get me a rebate on court costs!

dont have link - but think you will find it if you put in Working tax credits. Inland revenue have site that has calculator and will tell you roughly if you are entitled to anything. Perhaps that might help - not sure

Apparently I pressed the wrong button on my phone. If you get refused tax credit you dont call with new details as in ... 'if you are calling about an existing award press ...' Cos this just amends the existing award (In my case Zero). You have to apply again from new .. as in 'if you are claiming for the first time press ...' Very confusing cos I have claimed before. Red tape, It's easy when you know how!!
