CTC increase due to HMRC salary estimate
I noticed in my Personal Tax Account that HMRC appear to have based my estimated annual salary for this year on this month's 80% furlough pay. My Child Tax Credit payments have been increased by about £100/4weeks and I think this may be the reason. Just a heads-up really, although I am a little concerned if/when I go back…

Child tax credit increase
Just checked my tax credits online and my payments have nearly doubled, has anyone else found higher than expected increases? I was expecting them to drop as I had a bonus towards the end of the last FY and it pushed me a bit over my expected income. All the details seem right, but they over estimated my salary by £700…

Unemployed - class 1 NI credits - how to get?
Hi, My partner is unemployed and has been for a few years. She did apply for JSA and has just received a letter about the claim. Not surprisingly it says she can not receive any JSA given lack of contributions. She could only apply for contribution based since she has significant savings. It did say that Class 1 NI may…

£300pm better off on UC?
Hiya. I've been in the Support Group of ESA for a few years now and recently applied for Universal Credit. It's a welcome relief of course but I don't understand why I'm £300 a month better off on UC? My rent is £720 and when I was on HB I only got £400 pm so had to pay the rest out of my ESA. UC are paying £520 towards my…

Self employment/tax credits/universal credits
Afternoon all, just looking for a bit of guidance really. We were newly self employed on 6th Feb this year, and currently claim tax credits.(waiting to hear back from HMRC regarding changes made). As we don't have any history of trading, we don't qualify for the furlough pay which is fair enough. Are we entitled to claim…
