    What should you do? Call HMRC at 8am on Monday, it's easier to get through earlier in the day. No one here has access to your account, we don't know tbe reason for the payment.

    You only work 18 hours. With a 6 hour shift on Monday you only have 12 3/4 hours of work over the next 6 days. I'm sure you'll find time t call.

    Even if you work 18 hrs and partner did get DLA high rate care you still wouldn't be entitled to WTC unless you are over disabled, have children or over 60.
