Working tax credit 4 week run on

pfpf

my OH finished work today (Redundancy), she is phoning JCP tomorrow for her telephone interview and will, i think, be claiming JSA (CB).

i dont think we will qualify for anything else.

we get WTC but i was going to ring them tomorrow to inform them of our position and am/was fully expecting WTC payments to end tomorrow.

does the OP's post mean they will keep paying for another 4 weeks? we have no children.

its not the full amount that you get either

i stopped working 10th december and got my run on on the 30th december, it wasnt for the full amount iykwim it was for just over half, my is etc never started untill the 7th january so althrough it was nice once you have paid child care, rent, council tax etc it works out no better either way

No they cancel it then send out a giro.

It's only the WTC you get a run on for, not CTC.

I'm shocked!! Today i got a letter from the TC offices one with a Giro cheque and another letter saying that i have had an overpayment (for the exact amount that the girocheque is for?) it says that my money will be reduced everyweek starting in the new tax year, or if wish to i can call them up to reduce this amount now... Dont understand?? and what are you meant to do with a giro cheque?? Do i pay it in or forget it? If i dont cash is then surely i owe them nothing???

Phone them up, twll them you have the cheque for that amount and say you wont cash it if it will stop the overpayment.
Or just phone them and see what they say.
