Child tax credit help!!

Hi my partner has been on long term ESA. this week he started a part time job. Now i wanted to wait until next tues to report this to the tax credit office. My rent it due that day and I need my tax credit money to top this up. I'm worried if I do it today they will cut everything off for weeks and weeks like they did when my partner moved in with me, as it was classed as a new claim.....will they do this again?

thanks xx

    he'll be working 27 hours a week. im not working. I've done all the calculations so i know we'll get more money, but i just dont want it to be cut off before rent day x
  • I always thought that as they pay by BACS, the payment will be sent 2 days before anyway.
