Back to work benefits & WT Credit

aaroncaz

Does anyone know how long the jobcentre take to pay you the in work credits? £250 & £40 per week?? Plus rang WT today, they won't take my new claim in advance, I start workMonday... Advisor did do it online at jobcentre, but at end of it, there was a number to ring, she gave it me, she should have rang it!! WT did say jobcentre could ring up and maybe put claim in advance.... am confused here, as wasn't that what jobcentre did online today??Also how long are WT taking to sort out claims roughly?? I don't want to end up owing childminder!

You cant do any updates till you have started the job, so call on monday
The £250 grant is automatic, I recieved mine about 2 weeks after signing off IS

No paid into my bank, does the £40 a week, take as long?

Ah that might be different then. I got mine as a giro
My £40 took longer to come through though

Was it a while ago, you claimed yours? jobcentre said things have been speeded up recently.

Yeah at least you are getting some extra for xmas and the sales hehe!
Remember tell HB also
What I done when I got my in work credit is I got it put into a seperate account and didnt touch it, at the end of a year back to work I had £2000 sitting there waiting for me!! Happy days!!!
