JSA (C) and Working tax credits

My partner has just started an apprenticeship paying £98.20 a week


I had been working and was unfairly dismissed and then we claimed JSA (IB) as joint claim from May until my partner started working on 3rd September.

We had notified Tax credits Change in circumstances (me being out of work) and also that my partner had started work.

Received an amended award notice saying WTC would be £345 every 4 weeks and CTC £58 every week

Then as i was advised to let HMRC know that i was still claiming JSA but C based not IB we have today received another amended award notice saying that our WTC will be £117 every 4 weeks and that CTC will be £48 a week.

I think the above is wrong but not sure at all.

Does that seem right to everyone?
