Not exactly a win, but I've just received a cheque for £602.35 !!

FROM THE TAX MAN !! :beer:

I applied for the 2002-3 CHild Tax Credit as mentioned here
I wasn't sure if I'd already had it or not as I've divorced and moved house since then so didn't have my tax details from back then, but it turns out I hadn't claimed it back then.
The deadline is Saturday, so if you think you might qualify, it would be worth sending an application off 1st class first thing tomorrow

I think I sent it in the 1st/2nd week of December and had nothing back to say they'd received it. I called last week and was told that they had so many forms that they couldn't acknowledge receipt and also that I'd sent mine to the wrong tax office So, I ended up sending another one recorded delivery to the correct tax office.
Then today I get the cheque dated 22nd Jan from yet another tax office !!

Glad you got your money, a nice surprise in the post

Thats super not long really then, I have sent mine beginning of January. I phoned first to ask if I had claimed it already and they said no!! :j

well done, it must feel like a win. Im hoping for mine and it would be the baby allowance of £1040 as my ds was born 4 days before the last day to qualify - bless him x

I was panicking as I have just seen this.. but another lady told me you can hand them in tomorrow to any tax office and it can be date stamped and fwd. I hope this is correct I will die if i have missed out!
