    It's always difficult to judge what someone is or isn't entitled to just on their say-so. There might be other issues/illnesses/circumstances that they did not share with you and some considerations might not be visible.
    Without saying what relationship the person is to me, I know them well;) The change of circumstances shouldn't have given them any more tax credits than the family element they were already in receipt of and there was definately no reason for them to have the excemption card. It was sent out as a mistake which the receiver knew and used.

    I don't understand this....

    Me & OH (a couple of years ago before we split), earned over £15K between us, but we had an exemption card each??

    We were just automatically sent one, does this mean we shouldn't have had them??

    Just caught this thread again and now I know why we had a card each.

    OH had moved in with me and I wasn't working until then, so obviously when we claimed as a couple it went on the previous tax year. OH was only earning about 12K then and I obviously didn't earn anything as I wasn't working.

    It used to cover the hygienist at my dentist. Last year my old dentist retired and they said I had to pay for scale and polish. I made a fuss, saying it had always been covered before and they capitulated. The, last time I went they said I had to pay £24 a time for scale and polish and that the parcice had borne the cost for a year but could no longer do so. It looks like I will have to be done once instead of twice a year.

    blame the government, not your dentist. if the NHS actually PAID the dentists properly and not all these UDA points hooopla then you probably wouldnt have to pay
