    Hi

    You should claim tax credits as well as child benefit.!

    Hopefully this will improve your credit situation!

    Hi Guys,

    Thanks for replying. I am still slightly confused, is working tax credit and child tax credit the same thing or seperate and if they are seperate how do i apply for them. I have managed to get one form for working tax credit but as far as i can see it does not mention child tax credit.

    Hopefully will receive some of my benefits soon and credit will improve!

    Thanks in advance
