i have never had much luck with these tax credits they always seem to get it wrong and now i think they have it wrong again me and my husband have a combined income of 21 thousand a year before tax i only work part time but at the min im on maternity leave im 31weeks preg with twins i recieve £6 a week from tax credits for my little girl who's 4 which is around £300 and something a year but i red up today and it says that any household on less than £50k a year will recieve a minimum of £545 a year which is the basic family element was wondering about other peples income and how much they get?

Have a look at your last award notice to see what information it is based on. If it is wrong or out of date then call TCO to correct it.

Good advice from Pam17.

You should ALWAYS check your award notices - one of the main cause of large overpayments is due to people not checking the information on award notices and either just binning them or shoving them in a drawer!

do you have an overpayment from a previous year? it sounds like you should be getting much more. as the others have said, check your award notice.
