Hi, yesterday I filled out the Benefits adviser form on the Direct Gov website, and I kind of got some good news. It came out that we are entitled to claim £89 a week in working tax credits. Needless to say, I thought it was too good to be true, so I done it all again, with the same outcome.
However, I done something wrong. I completely forgot that I had claimed JSA earlier this year, so I done the forms again, and this time it asked for detailed breakdowns of all incomes from this tax year (so far) and the last tax year (2011-2012).
After doing that, the results weren't the same, and it said we are only entitled to £0.00 per week. Why is that?
When I originall filled out the forms, it asked for each of our salaries, so why is it when I mention that I claimed JSA for a few weeks in the spring, and gave info on earnings for the previous tax year, that it now says we can't claim anything? Even though our current salaries are still the same....
Any help on this matter would be much appreciated!
