Change of circumstances

Probably a silly/random question :p

When you write to HMRC to tell them about change of circumstances, how long do you usually have to wait to get a response?

Thanks.

    Do you actually mean HMRC (tax office) or the DWP.

    What kind of change of circumstances.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
  • Ummmmm... HMRC? Partner moving in so instead of claiming single parent WTC etc it'll be a joint income into the house. That make sense?!?

    When I wrote to HRMC advising of a change it took them 2 weeks to sort out. They have been pretty quick when I have had to do this twice before.

    Good luck :)
  • Thanks for that. It's only been a week since the letter was posted and thought they'd have been on the ball (seriously!?!?) on sending the appropriate forms!!

    My apologies, no offence intended.

  • Huh? Apologies?? No!! Wasn't offended in the slightest! It would've made sense if I'd included the relevant info in my first post instead of having people ask questions to clarify! Apologies from me!! :)

    I tend to just follow the words 'change of circs' with DWP.#

  • You would be better ringing HMRC to tell them as you will need to cease the single claim and make a new joint claim.
