Hopeless case - do you mean that you got an extra payment of £33 and then this weeks normal payment was up by £5 ?

Have any of your circumstances changed ?

Did you receive the extra payment just like the rest of us or did you inform tco of a change in your household ?

Im dreading this Thursday when my first payment since my extra one comes.....im hoping it hasnt reduced my weekly payments too drastically !

Its reduced mine by £10 a week and seeing as our income has dropp;ed dramatically wouildnt haveexpected it to drop that much

I received the letter weeks ago and have not received an extra payment, got paid today as normal but it was £20 less than normal i phoned tax credits to find out why to be told i wasnt getting an extra payment but all my remaining payments till april will be £20 less but she also stated that my yearly award was the same even though they had gone down just dosnt make sense

we got the letter back in december, then last week got an extra payment which was £5 less than our usual payment, does this mean we are to expect our tax credits to drastically reduce in april:mad:

Spaceman - if you take the amount you received as the extra payment and divide it by 10 - as there are 10 weeks left in this tax year - this will be (roughly) the amount your future weekly payments will reduce by.

My payments have been reduced by £10 a week
