Yes thats correct. Does it worry you? It wouldn't worry me.

It doesn't bother me all I wanted to do was get one of my kids to live with me so I can get the boiler fixed

I sincerely hope you haven't told your child that

All of my kids know that the heating is not working and they have said can one of them say that they live with me I have no secrets from my kids at all

They can't just say that they live with you... seriously?

Are you in rented accommodation? if so, landlord should be fixing your boiler.

Yes it will because they include Child Tax Credits as income, but thst will probably just even it out to the same as less CTC but one less child to feed.

So if your child is not living with you but you make a claim that she is, what will happen with the £64 CTC approx and 20.70 CB each week?
