WTC/maternity leave/return to education question

Hi there - sorry, I'm about to get complicated.

2008-2009 my WTC was worked out based on me earning approx 14K
2009-2010 WTC again worked out based on me earning around 14K although as I was on maternity leave for most of this period my income was closer to 9K.

Last month I gave up work to be a full time student and am no longer eligible for WTC but I'm thinking that maybe they still owe me some WTC as my income wasn't as high as they thought.

Am I right or am I just wishful thinking? Have I blown it because I'm not working anymore? Any insights would be great.

Thanks
