Universal credit/IPA/Tax code change

30 Posts


Good Morning all.
My husband and I went bankrupt last month and all had been plain sailing really in regards to things being sorted however I have a couple of questions that I hope you knowledgeable guys can help me with.
Our case worker told us to wait to hear from the council re council tax payments, do we pay it in the mean time? Or was it wiped from when we went bankrupt?
Also, my husbands tax code hasn’t yet changed and again our case worker said it’s just that the tax office are behind. However, I’ve just suddenly thought will the change in tax code impact our universal credit because it will look like my husband is taking home a lot more money each month?

Have you returned the forms you were sent to complete? One of these is the HMRC form. Make sure the OR has received it. In any case it can take a month or so. Keep this money aside and don’t spend it as this will also be claimed by the OR.
