As the title states... can your request Tax credits weekly, rather than monthly?

    Yes thats WTC. He's had it weekly ever since he started getting it. I don't know if it's something you should have asked for at the start though and can't change.

    Hiya :)

    I get my WTC and CTC paid weekly into my bank account rather than monthly. Not sure if this is because I'm a single parent though!!

    We don't get WTC, only a certain amount of childcare paid. I just thought it would help me as I pay childcare weekly.

    I've been trying to ring them to no avail

    It is up to you how often you get paid as per the box you ticked on your original application. If you want to change it just ring up and ask.

    I've always had my child tax credits weekly. Think I just ticked the box for that when I first applied years ago and it's carried on like that ever since.
