Hi can someone help, I applied a recieved WTC with disability element last year. What do I need to do this year? Will i get a form? Does it just continue? Also my last 2 payments have been half of what they normally are is this just because of the end of the year? I'm so stessed and worried and cannot get through on the phone.
Thanks

Do you meet all three of the qualifying conditions?

Wait until you receive your renewal forms. What did your 2014/15 award say would be the payments from April 2015 onwards?

Ten weeks is the standard script. When you get asked not to call before a certain date, they aren't kidding. The machines will not have a clue before then - you'll be as likely right using Martin's calculator!

Please, try to keep smiling to the folks on the phones? In one hour's wait for you, the folk answering phone may have had 15 absolutely straightforward calls, or two real doozies with complex issues and insufficient inhibitions about verbal abuse. Even if you are hanging onto your smile with what's left of your fingernails, the folks who answer may have run out of fingernails and still have weeks of calls to take.

Has anyone had their investigation completed or their renewal completed?

I rang today just after 7.45 and got through straightaway. I rang to ask if my Renewal had been sent out and she said it was sent on 18 May so hopefully will come through soon.


Relieved that it has been sent and she also told me what my payment will be next week so at least I know what I will be getting next Tuesday.

Guys i dont understand this pension thing, i know i read somewhere that if you pay into a pension you get more tax credits, however i do pay into a pension and have never said to tax credits as i diddnt think it would make a difference, i pay some in so does my employer.

Now am i right in thinking its contribution based? if so what does that mean and how do i find out if thats what mines is? or am i totally wrong here?

Nornally of an occupational pension then your contributions are deducted from gross pay and already taken into account on your P60.

However if it's deducted from net pay or your paying into a personal pension not through your employer then that is different.

How do i find out if its taken from my gross pay? i pay a pension through my employer.
