If you've kept them up to date with the income then 16 or 28 hours doesn't make any difference to your tax credits claims (assuming you are single).0

You need to work at least 30 hours per week for working tax credits. If you have a child then it's 24 hours, with at least one of you working at least 16 hours. See here.

OP says they claim CTC so there would be a child.
However I cannot see why you would be receiving WTC if only recorded as working 16hrs per week. As above, you need to be working at least 24hrs if a couple.0 -
The thing is only realised yday that since January it’s been recorded 16 hours a week when I do 28 hr per week since January 2018 to present , I’m peed of that this has happend and I’m just worried of any over payments coming through even tho person on the phone did not mention that he goes he updated the hrs0

I'm unsure why you are concerned about an overpayment, you won't have been receiving wtc so the issue would be an underpayment.0
