The only forms I have filled in are the original Bankruptcy ones. (I got some sent from the courts-not online, don't know if there is a difference, but very easy to fill out!)

If you go to https://www.entitledto.co.uk and input basic details for a single adult, with one child, no added frills and an annual income of £16500, the tax credit award is @£45 per week. As shown below.


Period:06/04/2007-05/04/2008 annual £ weekly £
Initial Tax Credit award for period: £2,359.50 £45.13
Working Tax Credit: £0.00 £0.00
Child Tax Credit: £2,359.50 £45.13

Final Tax Credit award for period: £2,359.50 £45.13
Working Tax Credit: £0.00 £0.00
Child Tax Credit award: £2,359.50 £45.13

So this does seem right.
