child tax credit help?

my wife has just returned to work after maternity leave so i phoned child tax credit because our joint income and hours worked has changed to £31k a year income and 39 hours a week jointly.
we currently get £41 a month and i'm left wandering how acurate the do i qualify website is as we have just received a lump sum £11 when the website shows we should be getting £186 a month

    I believe the tax credit calculator gives the award left for the year, or it used to.

    So you'd need to divide £186 by the number of weeks until April to get your weekly award.

    It may have change though...
