WOW - Some of these posts are harsh!

Please remember why this forum is here. You can often find a nice way to get your point across and maybe even help a person too.

If my Tax Credits were to be cut I'd be in such a mess. I didn't ask for them, but when they were put on a plate I obviously took the offer.

Not all people are organised and as such sometimes find surprises. Whilst I have learnt my lesson and still have my signature to contend with - others haven't yet and come here for some very needed advice.

it sounds correct the entitlement tables are here http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/taxcredits/people-advise-others/entitlement-tables/work-and-child/work-no-childcosts.htm
as others have said, when the next child no longer qualifies you will get nothing

If the figures in that table are correct, then i need to have my award reviewed, as i dont get those amounts.

What is the withdraw rate, if you are between income bands?

The figures look right to me £40 pw on that salary for 2 children. It's still a hefty benefit when you include CB of £20 pw.

I agree with your post, I got hit last month in a bad way from this site and today is the first time i have been on here. Sad really.

Shockingly so.

The figures sound correct. My first daughter finished school, and moved out and went to Uni last year and I had my tax credits reduced by just over £50 and my child benefit by £13. I found I wasn't significantly worse off as I wasn't paying for food, transport, books and clothes for her any more. My second daughter is staying at home but going to Uni in September and my tax credits and CB will again reduce. She will give me £40 per week for food and bills, and pay everything else herself. Again, I don't expect to be any worse off.

Sit down and redo your budget. There is lots of help available on other threads. It actually made me feel good to be less reliant on TCs and CB, and more independent.

If you are so close to penury that a £100 difference per month threatens you then you really should not be spending thousands of pounds on a cosmetic alteration to your kitchen.
