Tax credit increase?

Hi I did a post a few weeks ago on here and was told that increases of payment will come into affect from 10th April. I have just logged into my Gov Gateway and payments are the same for the next few months showing no increase. 

Has anybody else had the same? 

Thanks

    Tax Credits/Working Tax Credits are different.   There is a process.

    They calculate your final income for 22/23 in April this week, then subsequently issue a Renewal Notice end April/May.
    Payments are only Estimated at this point, based on last years income.

    Once this is finalised (approx 8-12wks) in the summer, you receive your Final Award Notice 22/23 and Provisional Notice for 23/24 and payments are rectified.


    Its common not to notice any or much increase than in the summer/autumn on completion of renewal (or higher/lower first April payment different to the remainder at least).

    I checked mine this morning and there was no information by tea time the payments have gone up starting from the 14th. I would just keep checking.
