Not entitled to WTC anymore?

OK so I'm simply trying to find out if i'm entitled to WTC as since 2nd April this year they have stopped. Called the Tax Credit helpline and they said I am no linger entitled and this would have been reflected when they sent me updated correspondence back in August 2012 (when I got my wage rise).

I asked if they should have sent me a letter to inform me of the WTC stopping but they said no.


So my circumstances/details:

- Started work (after unemployment) in Nov. 2011, getting £18k.
- Work 35 hours a week.
- Got a wage rise taking me to £19k in August 2012.
- Was living in rented accommodation till July 2012.
- Living in my own home (father gave to me) since July 2012 (so no rent).
- Married and three children under five years old.
- Wife is not employed - i.e. housewife.
- No savings, or assets other than the house I own and live in.
- Currently get about £150 for CTC and £47 for CB.


So generally speaking am I or am I not entitled to WTC?
