Hi all.
Wondering if any of you guys can help me.
I have, until very recently, been working as a contractor.
As a result of my low taxable income, we have a NHS Tax Credit Exemption card giving us free NHS prescriptions and dental treatment.....thankfully not needed very often til now.
Anyway, the other half the other week told me she had tooth problems (aching jaw) though thought it may have been sinus infection. She's had her appointment today and turns out will need a couple of fillings.
Now that in itself is fine......however....my NHS Tax Credit Exemption Card is valid until around june/july of the year.....but I have just this week, been moved to a permanent full time position at work.
Now I haven't yet informed the tax credits of my change in circumstances....but obviously 'next tax year' I will not be eligible......but I'm wondering.......is my card still valid until the expiry date shown....or if the card will be null and void?
I'm in a huff with her now as I told her to get it checked and sorted when it started playing up but she left it several weeks til I started a new job.....
I've tried searching for info on the validity of the cards, but I can see no mention on any site, nor on the cards themselves about if circumstances change.....and of course, by the time the card expiry deadline is reached, my salary that has come in would still be below the threshhold.
The only information I can find about nhs costs is that you can be fined if try to claim for free when you are not entitled.....but as the card says its valid until 07/13...then am I still covered? And of course don't want to pay the cost (cos of other half delaying it til now) if can be avoided and if turns out I am still covered.
I'll no doubt have to ring tax credits office to notify them of a change in circumstances soon when I get chance too (and if their phone line ever answers when I try)
I'm thinking that I am still covered til June...seeing as there is nothing down on card, or paper or on sites that tell me it would no longer be valid due to starting a new job
Cheers guys/gals,
