Not heard about final tax credits decision

Hi All
Is anyone still waiting for their final tax credits decision?
I am still waiting for mine I've never had to wait this long before. I spoke to tax credits last week was told it had still not been processed and that to ring back on 15th sept if I still hadn't heard.
I over estimated my husbands self employment income last year by £13,000 so wonder if this is the reason for the wait.

Thanks

  • I haven't heard from mine either and I renewed on the 16th June, they have told me new time scale is 30th November it's shocking and my earnings were down around £3000 x if that's any help x
  • I totally agree it is shocking. I wonder if we would be waiting this long if we had a over payment
  • I said exactly this to the woman on the phone and see replied if your payments haven't stopped I don't see the hardship
  • They are unbelievable
  • I didnt receive mine before the deadline so they sent another with a renewal date of 1/09. I called 1/09 to update and I received my new calculation yesterday so took all of 9 days.
    Very strange it is taking so long but as you say it may be because of the mis-calculation of the previous year so more to sort.
