Hello all

Hoping someone can help with this. We normally get Scottish Child Payments for our children and have been since they started.

We migrated over to UC after the migration letter last year after being on Child Tax Credits. My children are under 16

We also get Scottish Child Disability Payments for them. 

But out of the blue we got this letter today? I'm confused why they have stopped our Scotland Child Payments? 
We're we never even suppose to get them even? Will this mean a huge overpayment? 

Hope someone can help please?

    I think they have been notified of the tax credits stopping but are not aware that you are getting U C. 

    The sentence that says you are no longer getting .,,,, refers. 

    You need to contact them and advise them that you have migrated to UC.

    When last year did you migrate, and did you have savings/capital over £16,000 that were disregarded for 12 months?
