Hi I have been getting Child tax credit £152 for 3 children since eligible, and this tax year from april 2012 we had working tax credits aswell as child tax credits as partner worked for 8 weeks, stopped in sept 2012 left with child tax credits.
now i have started working 16 hrs as my health conditions and i get low rate care for DLA. told tax credits got award notice today saying i will get £147 tax credits only, called them only to be told i have had the limit for tax credits for one tax year so remaining is £147 a week until april 2013.
it has all confused me as we had WTC for 8 weeks £89, so i don't understand and the calculator of benefits say i should be getting CTC £157 and WTC £129 as should have disability premium.
Please help me understand as its only me working 16 hrs Partner not employed yet and I'm Disabled.
