in Benefits & tax credits
I started work on 6th October 2011 and was told i was entitled to in work credit but this could take up to five weeks even as long as 8 weeks. Does anyone know when i may get my money? I have had no paperwork at all since i applied for this but filled out a form with LP advisor when i signed off Income Support.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Vicci:)

    I got a lump sum 3 and a half weeks after starting work, obviously weekly after that.

    Hi,
    I went to day to my local office to claim this as i'm going back to work! (thank goodness) I was told that I would need to give them my first payslip after I have been working for 4/5wks and then would have to send them one every 8 wks after this....

    They will send you a letter so many weeks after you have been in work to make sure you are still working, I didn't have a payslip so just sent them a letter from my employer confirming I was still working.
