mysterious tax refund

in Cutting tax
I was due a tax refund for last year. This was paid into my bank last week and I got a letter about it that same day.
But then today I received a few cheques in the post from HMRC for a different, larger amount.
I have no idea what this is for. There was no letter about it.
What's going on? I don't want to tell them about it so I can get the pitiful interest before they claim it back, if it is a mistake. I have no idea if I'm owed this money.
I also got a payment for Child Tax Credits that was a lot more than usual last week and no information about what this was about.
What should I do? I'm not going to spend it incase they claim it back, but we could really do with the money.
Confused!

A letter should come - they are quite often not as synchronised as they ought to be.0

Took the best part of a fortnight for the back dated (?) letter to get to me; by which time I'd cashed the cheque and written to tell them it was still not right.0
