SSP & Tax Code

Hi,

I wondered if anyone could help, im struggling to find info online. My husbands tax code in December was 1150L, he has been off sick since January and claimed SSP until August and nothing since, we cant get benefits, however we noticed on his pay slips from when he was getting SSP his tax code was 799L and he doesnt recall getting a letter explaining why. Does anyone know if SSP makes it drop or know the reason why it might have dropped since hes stopped earning?

Thanks

He can look at his personal tax account on gov.uk and this will show the make up of his tax code and what has been deducted, if anything, from his Personal Allowance to give the 799L code.

Thank you I've set up his gov account he just needs to enter his personal info. I printed off all his wage slips for this year and from Jan to April the code changed sometimes each week then from April to august it was 799l. Hopefully he will get some tax back
