WTC 2 payments in 2 days

I usually get my tax credits every Wednesday. They went in yesterday as usual, but today when I have checked my online banking another payment (slightly lower than what I usually get) has gone into the bank.

I have renewed but not had any paperwork back yet.

Has anyone else had an extra payment?

I think im just going to transfer it into my savings account for a few weeks just in case its a mistake and they want it back.

    Whenever you renew you will get an extra payment. I had the same. Normal payment on Monday, slightly higher payment on Tuesday. Its perfectly normal.

    Beat me too it :D

    and i think it is usual to get the payments before the paperwork, it usually follows in a few days.

    when did you renew, i just posted mine back today so i am not expecting to hear anything for a while yet

    I renewed 2 weeks ago. Got a letter saying they wanted more info so phoned them on Monday.

    My envelope had a blue sticker on it if that helps (dont know what it means though lol)
