Hiya,
I've rang up tax credits and been told I can't update my income untill my renewal pack comes through...kind of annoying since they *assumed* we would be on 5k more this year then we actally are so are paying us less then last year now were in the new year but we can't change this it seems even though income is lower!!
Im going back to work at end of May I belive I can still call up with my childcare costs but does this mean I will get extra for childcare but when my renewal comes through it will go up again? Or has anyone else had this and they have done it together or can I not get any help with childcare untill my renewal comes through?
Also whilst your here...do they pay childcare in advance or do they do it after? I.e If I am paying £30 a week as of 27/05/13 and are due to recieve tax credits the week after would I get only the 27th May week paid or would I get 5 weeks (the week before and the 4 weeks in advance?)
Just trying to sort my budjet out as were going to be really short for next few months. :(
Ill just add as far as I am aware they will be paying 70%
