Tax credits

[emmaandamyleigh]

ive just done the test online and it says im entitled to 59 pound aweek for amy but last tax year i was only get 50 poun aweek and had no earnings from last tax year so how is it different when do tax renewels go in as iv not got the form yet

I think I'm more annoyed because a friend who's married claims as a single parent for her 2 kids and gets around £200 a week! QUOTE]


how is she getting that as i get £242 a week for 4 children but that includes a severe disability element too and if she is claiming as a single person then she will also get income support i dont know how much the amount is for a single person as we get deductions from ours because we recieve carers allowance its rediculous does her dh work too???
the government should be helping working families rather than penalising them

She said to me afew months ago that she gets just under 200 a week! Her husband has his own business too!
Whenever I say I'm skint, she says just pretend you've kicked Tim out. Everyone does it!!
That p**sed me off even more with what she's doing, is she was encouraging others to do it!!

i cant believe she has the balls or the cheek to do that how can she not always be looking over her shoulder and im suprised she hasnt been grassed up i would of so grassed her up by now she is taking money that she shouldnt

as for renewal they send them out april mayish but they will amend you tax credits from april this is what usually happens anyway

i dont know how this is going to affect me as i still havent had any since Marley was born!!!! im guessing it will be backdated up to now and then the new amount will start from now and again be backdaated as and when i finally have confirmation!

LM... i think your friend is taking the piss! thats sooo unfair! all the people i know have done it the honest way and are barely entitled to anything, id be ashamed if i were her! if we all lied about it we would all be so much better of!!

i know shes your friend but can u not anomously grass her up!!!!

im really curous to see what im gunna get now altough im kinda used to living without them as ive never actually had them yet!!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRR

 

[midnight]

yes they can be grassed on annonomously its benefit fraud you use to recieve a payment if you grassed someone up and it was proved they was benefit cheats i dont know if they still do though someone once attempted to grass me up when i lived in manchester it all backfired on whoever it was though as i was legit, mind i still had to bloody prove it which wasnt nice having to do and i still dont know to this day who it was

i use to work in the offices where the area dwp files was stored and we use to have to go and drag the files out of storage when people was being investigated it was suprising how thick some of the files were, i could of sneeked a peek at my own file but i was too scared to get caught and get sacked lol

I have thought so many times about grassing her up but got a feeling nothing will get done x x

whaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Theyre stopping the baby element?! Does that mean we wont get tax credits until LO is one?! We are seriously fooked if thats the case cos I have to pay £96 per week childcare and we can only afford for me to be in work cos of tax credits I might have to ask for a career break if we dont get anything.

 

[titch]

im on hold now to tell them about my childcare costs, Im bricking it that theyre gonna say Im not eligeable for anything!!

no for under 1s you now get the basic child rate instead of the baby rate

[sexyamy2005]

yeh grass her up!! lol its so not fair to be claiming when were all struggling to work things out

iv been on the calculator all day trying to work out what we will get towards childcare when i go back to work depending on the hours i go back,

it sucks how little help the government give financially yet they want us all to go back to work,

[LouLou1986]

worked out mine for when i go on mat leave and shud be getting around 345 a month, so im like 40 up so im happy

 

[midnight]

i cant say anything about the people who claim that are legit because im on benefits and cant wait for the day to get off them because it sucks big time i dont know how we would cope if we didnt have the extra money from my sons disability mind you i proberly wouldnt have to spend as much if he wasnt disabled but when i see on my fb that some single mums are out on the piss every weekend and i know they dont work im like how the hell do you afford it they must not buy food or something because i cant afford to go out once a month nevermind once or twice a week

the recession is still going on and people are still being made redundant too i feel for any family going through it its not nice at all

 

[ss79]

can someone post a link to the calculator thing so I can try work out if we would be allowed to claim anything, thanks.

 

[Emmamb]

Mine goes up cos were a low income family-dh works full time and me part time and combined we get less than £20,000 a year. I do think it's wrong that they're cuttin some and giving to others tho. Y not just keep it the same??

 

[leanne1b]

I know, I don't get why they change things. They were okay. Oh god I'm worried to check ours!
I don't know the link, but google 'entitledto'.
I'd be too scares to ever try any of that stuff!
I dont work at the mo. An my partner works 25 hrs a week at minimum wage, so we were getting the full amour of tax credits... For 2 kids. How the hell did she get nearly 200?? we got 109. Worried about what well be getting now!

[midnight]

[leanne1b]

I'm a bit confused... It says I'd still get 108 a week?? But that can't be right can it? How much is the baby element?? X

 

[isobel84]
