Best to give them a ring in this case to check it is right. Seems a lot.

ps. record call or make note of name and time of call just in case told okay go spend it, then at least you can say you rang.

Tax credits always adjust the next year on final notice of prior finalised income, so if wrong you could find it does inpact following year, hence best to check:)
