Call from Tax Credits?? Confused

Hi,
Bit confused we submitted a claim to tax credits last July (when my partner was still working)and now because of many of their mistakes it looks like it will be backdated - help from MP.
But I just got a call from them asking me when I moved in with my partner as he used to have a single parent claim (he has a 11yr old son). I said when we moved in together and his tax credits had stopped before this anyway as they switched to LO's mother end of 2008 and I moved in after this.
My partner never told tax credits I had moved in because he wasn't receiving any so....was that okay?

  • They will be checking to see if you moved in with him before or after his single claim ended to ensure that he didn't commit fraud by having a single persons claim with another adult in the house.

    If the claim was ended before you moved in then it's nothing to worry about. x
