Tax Credits.......0800 300 3900 They are open 8am-8pm 7 days a week best bet is to phone, it is much quicker and easier and they will ask you any details they need there and then plus you can ask them any questions you may have:) I have always found them to be really helpful.... Don't put it off another day!!!!

7 days? The UK is alive!

Will they take my claim on the phone or will they need to send out a form?

aw he'l be doin triple rolls in no time!! jasmine was 12 weeks before she rolled, i think she got comfy on her side then stayed there, thing is she rolls on her front all the time but she hates it on her belly so i have to go and roll her back ha!

Rhys hardly ever stays on his side. We're supposed to make him (according to the physio) but he just flops over to his front or his back, not bothered as long as he doesn't have to be on his side :rolleyes: He loves tummy time - have got another vid of that, once OH pulls his finger out! :cool:

MOTM, I sent my claim form in on 5th Aug, they got it on the 10th and were still working on it on 17th when I last spoke to them. No extra dosh in my account yet..

hey hun :hello:

so now that I am on SMP it wouldn't be based on my normal wages that I put in the calculator but what I am earning whilst on SMP?

How's you and urs?!!
.

:hello: right back at ya

on the web site, use the income you have at the mionute (and dont forget you get double till baby is 1 :j)
But when you phone to put the claim through and fill out your forms, you have to put what is on your P60, then phone them to change it.

We are all good, Dylan had his 8 week jabs at 9 weeks there on Wednesday and was fine till tonight and he is really restless and one of the jab sites looks red, but he has no temperature, so just wants cuddles !!
He also has his 1st peadiatrition appt in 2 weeks and I am not looking forward to it, even though I cant see anything wrong with him, I cant get it out of my head that he is going to tell me there is

Oh yeah, and we are going camping for 2 nights on Monday too :eek:

Enjoying Mat leave ??

.. Also when calculating your own, they do not take into account the first £28 or £38 ?? per week of materninty pay / allowance, just everything else ontop of it !!

They ignore the first £100 a week when you're on SMP.

Claim form. Remember to tell them you have seven children. The form has spaces for two children and comes with a sheet for details of more, but I'm not sure you'll fit the other five on the extra sheet - might need two!

Well, when it happens it happens. If i'm told we can have any money, especially £130 a week, when it arrives it's a bonus.

Glamazon - With the SMP bit when claiming tax credits they actually disregard the first £100 per week, so say smp is £120, you're only classed as earning 20pound a week, easiest was i found to do it was work out what your total earning for the year will be, for example lets say £15,000, then if you'r on mat leave/smp for 39 weeks minus £3900 from that so you only declare earnings of £11,100. I hope that made sense!!! I never knew this first time round and by the time I found out it was the next financial year so there was nothing i could do about it! x
