Tax credits award 2011-2012. Surely a mistake???

Hi everyone I'm Layla. nice to meet you all.
Basically today i received my award for 2011-2012 through the post. upon opening it i was given a great shock. At the time of claiming in 2010 we estimated my partners wages as 14200.68 pa. we were receiving £107.96 child tax credit and around £84 ish working tax credit. This year on receiving my partners actual wage figure of 13667.95 we were told by tax credits in the letter that we would be recieving £109 ctc and £12.14 wtc?!!?!?!?!?! so we get less money for earning less?? since when has this been the case? We are being deducted money for my partner not earning as much as he thought that he would. He is not self employed.
please excuse my rant, hope this made sense it has just filled my head and i know i wont be able to sleep until i call them Monday- i have aspergers syndrome i tend to rant a bit.
any help much appreciated
