working tax credits

supermum2005

last thrusday i was shocked to find one of our tax credits missing from my account after phoneing hmc tax credits the nice gentleman informed me they dont have my partner down as in paid employment

then on the saturday my partner phoned and was told his wages of £1,414 per month before tax was to high and thats why we hav'nt or wount be getting no further payments

no letter now 4 days since still no letter to explain why our payments have been stopped i have been in contact with our local mp to raise this issue and going to see cab

i am unable to work due to a blood clot in my neck that effects my right arm on warfarin for life take's care of my disabled son and my mother who is also disabled and awaiting heart surgery

dont know what to do as my care allwance or child benefit can only strech so far

we also have a 16 yr old son but because he is in an army prep collage and gets paid by them £40 per week i cant claim for him

dont know what else to do besides cry

You should definitely get CTC on that income, probably a little WTC too. Is it just your WTC that has stopped?

supermum2005

yes they only paid ctc of £97

sorry i don't understand the tax side of things

so i only get ca , cb son gets dla and ctc

not even thought about claiming hb or ct

starting to fall in arrears with bills glad i got to go to cab next week

You're on the borderline for getting WTC, unless your partner himself is disabled then he won't get WTC on income over 17785 a year assuming he works 30+ hours (or 15859 if 16-30 hours).

Your CTC might be based on last years rates, if so you'll get a rise when they do the renewal.

Have a look at the turn2us calculator for HB/CTB

yes just working tax credit has stopped no letter no nothing

he did change jobs in feb this year we did tell them and they updated our records

he is now thinking of going back to driving buses earning about £350 per wk after tax with out over time

also he pays his ex wife csa payments per month

such a worry all time

shop with a calculator to make sure i dont spend to much ... not only do i have the worry if in case i get more clots then this happends :eek:

I'll get the violins out, you wouldnt even get ESA with a blood clot in the neck because it dosnt stop you working and I should know because my husband is very ill yet he was found fit for work not long after his stroke which left him with a huge blood clot in the brain (as well as kidney failure a breath from dialysis, heart problems and his endocrine system failing)

sorry to hear that about your hubby.

i wasnt looking for heart or flowers or even violins

if the clot went to my brain i wouldnt be here just cause i dont have a physical illness dont mean to say i dont have a illness infact i have lupus and yes i might not work but i am care for my disabled son and mother

i am on 15 mg of warfarin per day for the rest of my life i was just given back ground information so people can give me some advice

i know there are worse people out there than myself with far worse conditions

and if it look like i am looking for sympathy then then you are sadly mistaken

i was just given as much information as possiable so that people could give me advice ...which they have

supermum2005

and yes sorry to hear about your husband

Sorry if I misinterpreted you posting about your clot, we get so many people with minor health problems claiming to be at death's door on this forum I may becoming a bit desensentised and so when I read you OP I replied as above.

Please accept my apologies for me being so curt.

thanks apologies excepted

sorry for going off on my rant x
