    Which you no longer do.

    You need to get a better off calculation done, but in reality you should be better off on PCs.

    Try www.entitledto.co.uk

    Just spoken to these people and she's advised me I should be claiming CTC as from 06 September when my IS shut off

    Off I go to the CTC phone line.
    UPDATE
    Just spoken to Tax credit people who say I'm entitled to £54 a week.
    Hooleydooley !!!!!!

    Glad I could help :j:j

    Does it affect your PC entitlement?
  • The CTC award won't make any difference to the PC award, any money related to children is fully disregarded
  • Glad I could help :j:j

    Does it affect your PC entitlement?
    No it wont affect my PC Award.
    What is annoying is that I was never told by either IS. IB or PC people that I would lose the child part of my claim when I was shoved off IS onto PC and if it wasnt for your post and the incredibly helpfull Website you gave me I would probably still be in the dark.
    A CTC Claim pack is now in the post and I owe you a pint.:beer:

    Many thanks.
