Renewing tax credit by post

chaz2489

Hi guys,

I sent my forms off by post on the 3rd of June. By now in previous years my payments would have normally changed slightly. However, I've again today had my usual amount. I know we earnt £4000 less this year that last year so I am expecting my payments to increase slightly.

Has anyone else renewed by post and if so how long did they take to make different payments or send you a tax credit award? I renewed by post because most people phone, so thought it may be quicker this way.

Thanks in advance

I renewed by post and it took 6 weeks, that's the longest I've ever waited.

My postal renewal took just 2 weeks this year.

Its estimated to take aprox 6 weeks. Can be done faster as happened with No-Oneknowsme but standard is 6 weeks.

Lord knows why mine is taking so long then?

I don't pay childcare ect so can't imagine I'm being checked.

Thanks for the replies

I had 2 payments on Friday, usually get my t/c on a wed so guessing my award has been looked at, waiting for the paperwork now.

I also renewed by post on 3rd June.

I had my usual payment in my bank on Weds 12th June and then on Saturday 22nd June I received 2 envelopes from them, 1 advising my final payments for last year and 1 confirming my payments for this year.

I don't have any childcare costs and only claim CTC so maybe this is why mine was pretty quick this year, just under 3 weeks from start to finish inc 2 lots of postage time.
