    What was your actual joint 11/12 income? That will determine how much the overpayment is.

    hi icequeen,
    actual joint income for 11/12 was £26022

    Ok, so your 12/13 award will not be overpaid because of the 10,000 disregard. You can earn up to 10,000 more than your 11/12 income before it affects 12/13 tax credits.

    However your 13/14 award (i.e. your tax credits now) is probably being paid on the basis of 26,022 because that is the latest income HMRC have. It should be being paid on £30193. So you may have been overpaid from April - they will alter your payments going forward so it is right by the end of the year which may mean you see a fall in payments.
