Manage Your Tax Credits

Hi all

does anyone use Manage my tax credits and could help me out!

I changed my working hours on Friday from 37.5 to 33.5

before this my manage your tax credits said

Working Tax Credit
£22.65
Child Tax Credit
£325.19

Paid on or by 27th April (weekly)

This was my normal weekly payment, now it says

Working Tax Credit
£25.18
Child Tax Credit
£321.46
Paid by 28th April

It doesnt say anything about weekly and my payment date has changed :(

Does anyone have any idea why it would say that, also why would my payments go down?

Thanks

  • When did you change your hours? I'm in a similar situation to you I changed mine from 30 to 25 hrs on 12th of April and had no amended award yet they are usually really quick. Never had a issue but was really worried that reducing my hours would put me on universal credit / the dreaded uc as everyone would say! Have you not been changed over then, I'm a single parent with one child, an was hoping to save a bit before the transfer to uc, I take it you haven't had your new notice then it's all so confusing
  • Sorry just re read your post you only did yours Friday so you wouldn't of had anything yet.
  • You get more in tax credits than I earn!

    It's probably just a one off payment because you've made a change.
