Tax credit online renewal

Hi, I have renewed my tax credit claim online over the weekend and received a text message on Tuesday from HMRC stating process can take 8 weeks. I could access my tax payment details online at that time.

From yesterday I cannot see my tax credit payments - Has this happened to anyone else? I just guessing it might be happening because the renewal is in process now and system is finalising and calculating the new award payments for 16/17.

Just need some feedback from people who have already complete there online renewal.

Thanks

    I renewed mine online 30th May, standard text recieved 31st may stating up to 8 weeks for processing.
    I too couldn't check my payment details online yesterday, so was hopeful that it had been / was currently being processed. Have logged on to the HMRC site today and it's showing all the details again, and still no different, so I suspect that it remains unprocessed and there was perhaps a glitch yesterday.

    I renewed online on 24th May, text on 25th May and letter with final award and 2016/2017 award dated 26th May ! How quick is that :)

    Last tax year it took at least 9 weeks, then a MR and wasnt finally sorted out till Sept - so its really the "piece of string" cliche
